Well, my own dramas this time.
I came at the last moment after I got up from my siesta almost by mistake (troubles at paradise). I got up fast to the balcony. Ilan changed his shirt for a singlet. Fine, so he isn't my boyfriend and looks like he never will, but it doesn't mean that I can't wash my eyes (and he does have a great body under the shirt). I let myself say something about it cause he knows me and he knows it isn't a try to hurt (just a complement).
After we both changed we got down to the studio. The class of very advanced has finished. I started to talk with the dragon tattoo girl. She looked better than at Monday and kept on cautious optimism about what's gonna be. I checked out that she and Ilan really knows each other. They said they do but I found out that it's mostly at the face... There was a brake between classes. It didn't take too long till the dragon tattoo girl stood between me and Ilan and pretty managed the conversation (or at least it felt to me that she's taking it). I noticed that the guitar player seemed to take off his equipment. I asked silence Ilan and the dragon tattoo if the guitar player not suppose to stay. They said they think he does. Three of us agreed it was a bit weird.
The class has started. The guitar player stayed to play although it looked he's on the way out. We made a warming to the hands. Moved to legs' warming. We got few more new steps for this warming. The happy one has been asked to try once alone. Her best friend at the studio has been asked too. Since this moment the friend has been asked to try alone at least three more times till end of class. One more of the students who are there for a while. And the little kids made a try with Mijal. When the kids tried without Mijal - we all clapped our hands for them. They are 5-6 years old or so (I think) and they came at the middle, so even the try is brave. Ilan has been fixed now.
We worked on one little step from Monday. For my ability - it's something which I can do and I made another version to it or even two before, but it kinda confusing. Mijal started to move between all of us. She fixed most of us. At my case it was mostly how to start it. Ilan made it perfect and Mijal said it very loud. Once she asked Ilan to show all of us how it need to be done.
One little brake. I saw the man from Neta's studio at the balcony. He changed there. At his case - nothing to see. I came to Ilan for sign/tell him to notice who's there. It took a moment till I came to him, signed him, Ilan looked and the brake was over.
We started to dance the siguiryia. Twice we have been stopped to start again a moment after we started. It wasn't good enough. Third time was good enough. I made it with mistakes, but didn't give up. Ilan and the dragon tattoo looked some of the time and danced some. We danced all few times, we pulled in the new steps from warming and the new steps from Monday.
Mijal thanked the guitar player. He took his stuff and went away. The happy one started to tell Mijal how does she think things go. Mijal started to laugh about it. After few jokes she prepared recorded music. Two girls - this one who always next to me and the one who knows better than me which level is best for me wanted to stand at my other side. I didn't argue. The happy one asked few if they know for s ure how to do it. I was the last one. Although I'm not crazy for her (already) I understood it wasn't as a bad thing. She's like that and at my case she asked it as "you know how to do it, right?". Ilan looked from the side. I was between the girls who didn't wanna see me and stood at my other side and between the dragon tattoo girl. I was happy that now I'm next to her. At the start - Mijal looked at me with half a smile/surprise and was shouting "what hands!" and one more complement that my hands are beautiful. It didn't take too long till the two girls who changed their places started to get into my space. I was with my back to the wall, some girls at the front of me in a way I couldn't go far from the wall, the b****es on me at one side and because of my "big" space - I almost got into the dragon tattoo girl. The liviana is very close to the siguiryia with the way it sounds and feels, at the classes that Mijal gives when I come - it has also many steps which repeat in both and the dancing looks very alike. I don't have the music of any of them. I hate to say it but it took me a while till I noticed we danced the liviana for the end with the recorded music.
When the class was over it took a while. Ilan took his time to change again. When we were on the balcony - the man started to shout to him and asked why doesn't he stay for the next class. At the way out Ilan still talked with some of the girls. After that we went together till the bus stop.
Got back home and found out the e-mail from Neta which made me nervous. Yeah, I have now a siguiryia at the studio of Mijal, but after all Neta said till now and the fact she knew how much did I want the siguiryia....

La siguiriya (así está bien escrito) es la tragedia. Sus letras deben hacer referencia al sino fatal, a lo que ya no tiene remedio. Así como la soleá tiene en sus palabras relaciones con el amor y el desengaño, en la siguiriya se debe sentir que no hay vuelta atrás, que todo está decidido. En el baile, no sé cómo aconsejar, pero supongo que se debe sentir eso, aceptar la cruda realidad y el dramatismo consecuencia de no poder hacer nada. ¿Desaliento? Tal vez.

Yo se que la siguiriya es muy jondo. Escuchaba en este verano desde una bailaora que siguiriya no tiene remedio, es fatal. Es un algo gue me gusta en este palo. Para mi es un algo que hace siguiriya flamenco puro y una cosa bonita y fuerte. Hay cuantos palos en flamenco que me gusta de mas - siguiriya es un palo como este.
