Fiesta buleria en estudio Pasito (stories)

I didn't come right on time. Never mind. It's a party, no one would think that all would come on time and it never start on time. I've been at this studio before for workshops - one was last month, so I found the place without to think. I knew that this party was to publish the studio, there for it's an open party for whoever which dance/sing/play buleria. I wanted to come for having some more flamenco and for seeing people. I knew that will be there some people who I know and like (like the Facebook girls) and some who I know a bit and wish to know better. It didn't disturb me from start worrying at the moment I got at the bus stop near the studio that maybe this party is for certain people and I'm not invited. When I came near the door from inside were Michal Bratt who own the studio, Niva Haim who teach dancing there too for a long time and Noa Drezner who start this year teaching there to play a guitar. Three of them were polite and said "hello" with a smile. I asked if I can join. They said that of course and let me in. What a luck that I didn't let me fear to win me! Inside were sitting the Facebook girls. I sat next to them without to ask a thing accept how are they. Some benches and chairs were in a circle next to the walls just for the this party. Were few more fellows that I don't know.

While I has some conversation with the Facebook girls and they had a lot of conversation between them - Noa was taking care for some flamenco music from the system (from mobile phone or something). Some more people came. One guy who I know through workshops came with his little baby girl (a year and three months old). She was shy as little kids always do, but so sweet and funny. I thought it's great for her that she's already absorbent flamenco and what a shame that my niece still doesn't really have it. A guy who I don't know came, said "hi" to me and sat next to me. He lighted a cigarette which I think isn't an ordinary one. He smoked a lot. Hagai Leshem who start this year to teach there playing a cajon also came. I was talking with Noa. She brought some jewels that she made. Michal said that we're waiting for the singer. Even when Eti Guri (start this year to teach there how to sing) we were waiting. One of the Facebook girls asked the other one if "she" knows that they came especially for that. There were few soft drinks and a bottle of.... How to call it in English? At Hebrew it called "arak". It's some alcohol. Michal was worried that the alcohol didn't open yet. Started a conversation about the hour to start drinking alcohol. Two more girls who I know through workshops and start this year to teach there kids and beginners how to dance arrived. 

The party has started in a late of 45 minutes or so. For a start - Noa who lived at Jerez few years told about the buleria fiestas there they make every morning. She said that they wish to do this kind of fiestas at this studio once a week. Later on there was a talk about once a week or once a month. She said it's for each will improve their improvisation and anything we want in dancing, playing or sinning. And the party has started for real. Noa and a guy who I still don't know were playing guitars. Hagai was plying a cajon. Eti was sinning. All the rest made palmas. Well, I made many brakes for taking photos. One of the Facebook girls took some of her own. There was someone who took a video with her mobile phone. I made two or so too. Maybe I'll try to upload later on, but I don't promise a thing. 

A short while after it started - Michal stopped all. She said that there are three ways to make the palmas by counting. She showed for a moment her meaning. Then she asked us to make it at the last way she showed us for all will be together. After a while - Michal stood up to dance. A moment after she finished - Niva made her buleria. They both did it in different styles and I liked their both dancing. Then was one of the girls who I know through workshops and will teach kids. She's good, but there is something about her that I don't like. And the other one made a pretty good one too. There was a part when Hagai stopped for will practice the palmas and do it better. Many people stopped there, some people who knows some from the studio, some came by mistake. There was a man next to the door who was talking at his mobile phone and let the person from other side to hear what's going on at the studio. 

After a while of more music there was a brake. I asked some of the girls of the studio if it will be fine to upload photos. Now answered it will be great if I'll upload photos and videos. I said the truth that few photos didn't go well, so I will give up on uploading those. Noa said something about that I should upload what I think is good. Inside the studio one of the Facebook girls asked me why didn't I get in to dance. I said it was from stress. It wasn't a lie. I know that I can, but it isn't the studio that I'm uses to. She said it's the same for her. I asked her to take my photos if I will dare to dance. She said it's fine, she can do it also at her camera. The smoker gave up on his place next to me for the man who I know with his baby girl will sit there instead. I didn't have a problem with the girl, even when she started to put her little hands on me. The problem was that her father felt like he has a lot of space. I started to shrink at my place, a thing which made him feel like he has some more space. Two more women came.

It started to be a little late for me, but because I didn't make a try yet and because the hour it started - I didn't go yet. 

After the brake Michal told about the classes of this year at the studio. A little mess between the musicians. It started again. They made some changes between them. Eti took Noa's guitar, Noa started to sing. After a while Eti was playing and sinning. Hagai sang too. Eti was playing at the cajon too for a little while. One of the Facebook girls (NOT the one who promised to take photos) started to dance. She made it pretty cool. I dared right after her. Oh no..... I know how to do it, but the stress and fact I still don't sleep enough - I fogot most of knowledge. I made something which I felt isn't good enough. It made me more stressed till I forgot to listen to the palmas. I noticed that Eti signed me to go out. I went out. The Facebook friend said that she made a video from the middle at her camera. Oh dear... What a shame! There was there one more man who was trying to dance. Didn't impress me. Noa and Eti told the Facebook girl that it won't over till she won't try. She made it. I think she made it better than I did. The little girl started to walk next to her some of the time. It was pretty funny till most of us looked more on the little one who was just walking there that to the big one who was dancing. 

After she got back sitting I told her that I'm about to go. She said that she and her friend will go soon too. I changed my shoes and took my things. I was waiting till Eti will finish to sing and the musicians will finish to play. I got up and said "goodbye". All answered me. When I was next to the door Noa told me that I wnet a bit from the compas. I had a feeling... She made a try to say it quiet, but she wasn't next to me so I don't know how many people heard it. 

The way back wasn't too easy. Till a bus came, and some people...
