My first official class at the new studio

I already has classes of experience with her recently and have been there before when I took the workshops of Miguel. Now it was first class that I took officially from Mijal after I said it fit me. It was a big challenge cause I'm still not used to learn from her, it took a while between the experience and real starting, the others made a practice on the dance and got some new steps, and I still don't sleep enough.

There was another class before, more advanced. They worked on a step which I thought it looks really hard but cool. I was sure that if I'll try it - there will be a doubt if it will work out for me. One of the girls there did have a problem. One girl from the class I came for probably remembered me and said "hello" in a friendly way.

When the class I came for was about to start - I took a place. Still in the edge, but this time behind and at the side that I can see everything at the "balcony". I wanted to be behind. I missed a lot while others knows a lot. I didn't want to disturb others with my mistakes and wanted to see what does they do. It took a while till this class has started. 

There was legs' warming based mostly on simple steps. One thing or two still confused me. Mijal was worried if I do it right. And there was that step I thought I can't do. I looked at others. I got the idea but felt that I still do make it right. Mijal showed one or two girls how to do it. Then she came to me for showing me and fixing me. I understood it better. I understood it at the head, but it still didn't really feel it comes to my body. Mijal let me know that I'm at the right way, even if I still don't do it perfect. 

It moved to turns around the studio. Two different kinds. After the first time with the first round - Mijal called me and two others to do it again with one of the dancers from her company. We needed to do it better and the dancer was there to show us the way. After that it worked out for me. 

At this class there is a liviana. Mijal was wondering where did it stop and how to teach the next steps. She said that for a start we'll dance all and then she will see how to go on. I knew few steps, but it was blur in my memory. I knew that Ilan has started this year at the studio of Mijal as well, at the class which comes next. Instead of just think of the liviana and dance - I started to wonder how early would he come. We danced the liviana. Well, most of girls danced, I danced what I could, remembered or saw the others do, near the end I missed and mostly looked, there was someone else who mostly looked all the time. After one round like this I saw that Ilan came without I'll notice and he was sitting at the "balcony" near my stuff. We had a little brake that Mijal made few things more clear. I looked to see when does Ilan look to my area. When he did I waved him. He signed me for hello. I got back to give attention to class, how much I could. 

There was a long practice on certain parts of the liviana. Too many things that I forgot and too many new things. Some of the things I made it, some things... I need to work hard to catch up all. And dancing a bit more.

Mijal asked me and the others in the cak to move to the front. She was teaching some new steps for the liviana. It was new to all the girls. At one brake one of fixings - there was a girl who moved to the back was happy to be a woman. Ilan felt like he can change clothes at the "balcony". Mijal was wondering at the start what happened. A moment after she told Ilan we're talking about him. Later on he got down to the studio itself and was talking with one of the girls who didn't dance this class this evening.

So, back to class. The new steps. Mijal asked me if I get it. I think I do. We made it again. She looked at me. A moment after she said/shout in a way that all studio heard for sure: "Orna - it wasn't bad at all!". She just told me to change the order with steps at one point for it will be easier. 

For the end - all came back to the places they have been before. We danced all from the start. I'm still tusty and still couldn't do it all well. Someone else made even less. I started to miss mostly when I noticed a man who I don't know at the "balcony". He was standing there and looked at me like I'm causing him a problem. 

After that we made it in two groups. I was at the second one. This man still looked at me in the same way. Once again for the end all of us together. This look didn't leave me. 

Before I went to change I had some time to talk with Ilan. Even with my mistakes it impressed him that I made it. I think it's a shame he couldn't walk with me to my house like he did all year once a week after classes at the studio of Neta
