Guajura workshop with Adi Akiva, my second day

I was afraid for a moment that I'm about to be late. I didn't have to cause I came in time and... The girls were out. The Granada girls wasn't there for my happiness, from Mijal's studio was only the dragon tattoo girl. All there rest were standing there in the street. One more pregnant girl I know and made a little mess few months ago was there too. She came only to talk. Someone I know from long time ago at the studio of Neta joined. And another who I know through two-three workshops we took together came for a moment to take the fan Adi brought her. She wanted to take a part at this workshop, but one leg of hers isn't healthy right now after a bad movement. I showed her my fan for she would have the idea of size and look. The dragon tattoo girl said that It's time to call Adi, but she doesn't have her number. She asked Idit to call. Idit called and said that Adi told her that she's about to come in few more minutes. She went away with the pregnant girl and got back alone just for the part that Adi finally came. I was probably the only one who heard Idit say the answer from Adi. Adi apologized a lot and said it's a shame on her. She came in with a bus from out of town and were many traffic jam. It took her almost two hours to come. 

There was a half war on the toilets. I paid my debt on the hairpins and started to use the darker ones. Not much time to change, it's already late and we need to start. The girl who I know through Neta's studio sent me to be at the front cause we both wanted the same space at the back. She was there yesterday and it stressed me that now girls can look at me when I don't have all. The start wasn't too bad with it, we made some stretching. Before legs' warming I wanted some water. The girl from Neta's studio got nervous from it. Don't I want to be at the front? I got too close to the place she took from me and got near too close to MY stuff. I could only take a bite from my water before the legs' warming has started. At few things Adi looked at me and said I'm doing well. At other parts I felt better, but at few parts I was too tired for making it. 

Water brake. I drank almost half of my water. Adi helped someone else to practice better few steps. 

We worked on circles. At this part - the girl from Neta's studio came to stand next to me. Many times she made it to the other side. I was afraid to get into her. At the basic I made it well. At the more complicated... I was tired and forgot some and my legs stopped listening to me. Some of time I made something which normally I won't dare to do - I just stood up and looked while the others went on. 

Time to take fans. I asked if there was a lot of new since yesterday. It was hard for them to tell me if there was or was a lot. We started to practice some new things, some steps which were new also the girls who didn't miss it yesterday.

After this part I wanted to ask to go through the yesterday part, but I couldn't even say a word because of the other talks that happened there. Adi asked me if I remember anything. I said that I remember a bit from Sunday. She asked if I rather be in the back for watching the others. I said that I do. It didn't really help cause no one from the back really moved to the front instead of me. I found a little space. The girl from Neta's studio still didn't move from the space she took although I could only find a place next to her at the time I had. We danced once the guajira. It was a real mess. The girl from Neta's studio almost got into me few times, I almost got into the wall because of the "space" I had and instead I got into other things - mostly into a chair with a music system. There was a part which of course I couldn't do, but they did it mess anyhow, After this first time Adi said that she wants to shoot us all. A moment after she changed her mind and said something like "oh, Orna no, I won't shoot you". Then she pointed at me and someone else. She said that she won't shoot us cause we didn't come yesterday, but she will shoot the others. The girl from Neta's studio didn't mind to die. She knew she made some mistakes and was ready to be without her head. 

We made it again. This time I got back to the front. I looked at the others through the mirror, so it wasn't too bad. Still few parts were new to me while others I didn't remember well enough. It took some time and dancing all few times till I will start to figure out what's going on. We stopped few time to take a bit more practice on certain parts.

The grown up woman said that she won't come tomorrow, so she wants to take a video. Adi accepted. She said that for the end we'll do it in two groups. One will dance while the others could take videos. I went to my bag to take my camera. I asked for a moment, but till I found my camera... They already started. At least it isn't the last day and I missed one or two steps. Adi asked us to change. She was a bit surprised that I wasn't hurry to get up and dance. I wasn't sure that I'm not too tired and don't want it all from the start. Once again they started when I wasn't ready. Now although my camera was already at my hands and open - I missed more.

The class ended for now. I needed to wait less time to the bus than last time. Tomorrow the last class will be at the morning because of the new Jewish year
