One more sleepy class

Once again I'm without enough sleeping hours. All turns out difficult and weird. I hope that I won't be too weird now. Because of things which has nothing much to me (accept the fact I needed to sleep) - I came when the class was meant to start. I got there in a storm in a try to miss the less that possible. Mijal was talking outside near the door with one of the dancers from her company. I'm not sure that I noticed right who was it because of the rush and the fact I'm tired more than the ordinary. I said "hi" and got in. At the balcony was the looking girl and one another who I still don't know enough for having any opinion about her. I said "hi" and thy both ignored me. I started to change fast next to them. They got down. When I finished - I got down fast and took my place. The dragon tattoo girl probably had things of her own. She answered more as manners. Next to "my" place the window was open. Cool breeze got into my back. 

The class has started a bit late, not sure if not even later than ever. This time also came someone who used to be at this studio till recently and made a little brake. First time that I saw her. Mijal asked if we want body warming first or get into legs right away. Someone said "body". Mijal let us hear some relaxing music of flamenco. Sorry, too tired and not enough concentrated for knowing for sure which palo we heard. About movement - I guess that I'm getting used to this studio and the method of Mijal. Even at the way I came this time - I could just go on with it without any surprises. One of the things needed some work on the body's balance. Although it was hard for me - most of time it seemed like I do it better than I usually do. 

Legs' warming. One drill I still in a condition of not perfect, don't remember all but it become easier. Few of the things I looked at others just for being sure that I remember correct. Second drill. I start to realize that I really like this part and it's pretty easy for me after some challenge it gave me. We stopped. Mijal asked if we have any questions. What about doing it again? We worked on few parts of it. Someone asked her about the difference between this and the other part. Mijal said that the first drill is more about technique and this and the next one are more about real dancing. Now I know why do I like this more. We made this part again from the start two or three times. For the next drill. Next one is still difficult for me. After a while Mijal asked me to do alone the second part of it. Oh no.... From the stress and the fact that I still don't "feel" this part - I couldn't do it. I made something which wasn't good enough. I needed to do it over and over again. After a while she said that I do right the start, she didn't understand a thing. After that she asked most of the girls of the studio to  do it each one alone. At least most did it well. After that we did it as half of girls dance and half do the palmas. We did it few times while each group do the palmas once and a moment after dance. 

Mijal said that she wants us to make circles because we didn't do it for a long time. A stranger came. He said that he lives at the apartment over the studio. He's about to move from there because of us, now he just want to see us for the last time before he move over. Fine, he can look. Mijal showed us how, alla bit made some with her and got back to the place. Some made it. I was looking for my turn. Mijal asked all of us to do it, includes me - never mind that I wasn't the only one who was waiting. She made some of us as couples. I was with the happy one by the choice of Mijal. It wasn't too bad, this time the happy one made a try to notice that she isn't alone and signed me for I will notice when to start. At our turn Mijal told me to keep on focus. I thought I did it.... Second time I did miss the focus and lost control on the steps like it never happened to me before. It seemed that my legs takes me to another place and faster than my head thought about. The stranger went away. Some girls said it's probably because all of us were THAT bad. Mijal said that we need to work harder on it. 

The stranger got back to see us after a short moment. He said that we all great. None of us believed him, but it was nice of him to say it. We started to work on certain parts of the liviana. After a while the stranger went for good. Ilan came a moment after. After he changed - he looked over us a lot from the balcony. We danced all the liviana once or twice from the start. There are few parts which I still miss, but for the way I came this time - it could be worse. Some only looked till a certain part and then joined. Mijal asked we have some questions. She need to fix all of us at certain parts. She was glad on one of the questions cause she said it's one thing to correct all of us. After a bit more work over parts - Mijal asked us to change places. Each one who was at the back will move to the front. The girl who's always next to me at Mondays didn't accept to change her place. Mijal asked her to come. The girl said that she will dance only parts of it. Mijal said that she will be able to dance parts, but when she does - she should be at the front. The girl accept. She found her place at the front of me - just between me and the mirror. I'll kill you bi**h! Mijal asked her to do it without hiding me. She moved over. We danced once again. In a way it was easier, I start to remember better what's come next and we already had all of it tonight. The change of place was refreshing. Even this girl moved over and got back to her old place after a while. The only problem was that I felt like some almost ran over me. All the girls who usually at the front came back to claim the front again few times. 

The class was over. I went to the balcony. I asked Ilan if he saw how did others almost ran over me. He said that he only saw how did I almost ran over others few times. Never mind.... There was a little drama with one of the girls, the lights and the toilets. The happy one made a try to blame me cause she didn't understand what happened. I said goodbye and went home. 

At the walk with my dog someone said "hi" to me. I looked. She seemed like some that I suppose to know but I didn't connect her to anywhere. I answered her. When she got that I don't really know who she is - she asked me if I'm Orna. I said that I do. She told me her first name and told me that she knows me through Facebook and flamenco. A bit more manners and we went on
