This time I had some time to rest before class, still not sure it was enough. And I was running for get on time. Andreu was playing to the other class. Last year on Tuesdays he played only to the improvisation class, maybe just at end of technique too. weird. Again the benches were next to the wall with the windows and only there. Some of the class were next to were I usually put my stuff. I still found a place next to them. One of the girls there looked at me weird and she has a reason for that. Ilan was sitting there on one of the benches. After the made circles to the other side and I was barefoot - I came to him and told him to notice that girl. She's a new at my neighbourhood and we had a bad start of knowing each other. I went to change. When I got back Neta was free to say hello. Lights has changed. I made a try to go without disturb. I sat next to Ilan. He started to make palmas. I was sorry I'm not taking a part of dancing. The memory of this part and how did it make me relax is still fresh in my mind. Fine, so not all perfect and there are some reasons that I low down this year at the studio of Neta, but there are other reasons how did go on at her studio for so long and didn't stop for good yet. After a while the girl with the bad start just stood there and looked. So easy part and she couldn't do it.
Between classes I asked Andreu if he stay for our class too. Yeah, he did.
The lights got back to normal. My friend came at the last moment. I was almost happy she didn't come from a selfish thought (the option I won't go back home alone). The class has started. I stood in a way I had some space next to Ilan. The Russian girl stood between us like there is some more space there. After she noticed it doesn't change a thing - she went to stand at my other side, but still too close. We started to work on steps for tangos. While one markaje on circles - the Russion girl was almost on me in a way that stressed me. I whispered Ilan that in a moment I will be kicked out. I signed on the Russian girl. He looked and smiled. Didn't take too long till all of us were in a big mess, I needed to take a lot of attention of how not to ran over anyone and notice that no one run over me.
We went on with other steps. All of us came back to "our" places while the Russian girl moved back to stay behind me and Ilan. One step didn't come easy to any of us. Still there was no need to see the video. We didn't do any of the drill we wanna do - taking all steps together some like a dance.
Neta said that she gives us a moment to think how to take a short improvisation. She said which parts are good for this time, we should think alone what to take of it. I was first to try. The start was good. The guitar is useful and I got my focus mostly on Andreu and his gutar because of it. He understood when I signed him that I want to move over from the entrance. The problem has started that I wasn't focused enough. Few times I felt not sure that I'm doing the right thing at the right place. After a while Neta said that for now it's fine. I got back to my place. She said that the good thing was that she could see that I did feel when to do all, but I don't sign clear enough what I'm about to do. And I went out from the beat few time.... I guess it could be worse. I felt better to see that each one of the others made mistakes too. The old one gave up at the middle of her turn, so she was worse without a doubt. The one who took a brake was next. Neta stood up in that turn and went to take something. The girl was at a "blackout" and half of time she stood and looked like she think what to do.
The next thing was that Neta gave us two pieces of papers with the words. She gave one to Ilan who took care to show me. We became two groups. I was with him, my friend and the Russian girl. After a while he let the other look too. The assistant came to us for a moment, till she found out it will be better for her to be with the other group. Neta said that we don't remember well the words, so does she. We sang all of us while Andreu was playing to us. After few time Neta said to Andreu that we're cute. She heard each one of us sing.
Got back to dance. Who didn't do it yet? The assistant. She made something. I made a try NOT to laugh. When we thought it's over - she went on with something crazy. Fine, all of us laughed. Second round. I was first again. I made a try to be more focused. It was hard cause I was really tired already and concentration never comes easy for me. Still it felt better. Most of time I felt I'm clear. Few times Andreu responded to me at the way I wanted, but twice I felt I miss. My thoughts became too heavy and at those twice I made something which I know fit for buleria, but I wasn't sure it fit tangos as well. I made one step which I learned at those classes recently which fir tangos for sure in a way that probably I needed to start faster, but the rest felt like do right. I got ready for the salida. By the way I made one step which I saw in buleria. One of the girls I met at the fiesta last Friday do it every time she dance buleria. I'm sure I saw others do it as well, but in my mind it's "her step". I don't know why did I do it. I know it's buleria, I don;t know if it's fit tangos, and each time I see this girl do it - I hate it. Neta asked me to stop at this point. I got back to my place. I didn't notice who, but one of the girls asked Neta if we shouldn't start working on the salida. Fine, one good thing: I was clear at this part for sure. Neta said that we will work on salida, but not when Andreu is at the studio. His time is too precious for working on new steps when he's there. For me she didn't say a thing, just smiled.
All others made the second turn better, but still not all perfect. Once again the assistant didn't let go and needed to do something crazy at the end. Neta had something to tell on her experience. Our class has ended a bit after time.
I went to change. When I got back I noticed that my friend was putting her stuff next to mine. She felt free to change there. She said that this class is really fun. She has a new compas that she loves the most. She thought she likes alegria, but now she likes tangos more. I took my daily shoes back to feet. My friend said I got better since last week. I told her that last week I was with a "blackout". She said it was possible to see. I told her a bit on the fiesta, mostly on my try to dance. I took my daily bag over my shoulder. Most of people went out from the studio. My friend decided to help me practice an entrance and some steps after that. I danced with her while my bag on my shoulder. She was sinning a bit. By the way she sang me to stay on compas, move my hips more, I do better, and so on. Once or twice she said thant I'm not concentrated. I said it's end of day. She said it isn't matter. After a while she said I do better. We stayed only two of us with Ilan and the snobbish woman. My friend called both of them to look that I'm getting better. Ilan and the snobbish woman stood behind us, Ilan made us palmas. I still didn't do it perfect.
We went together till the car of my friend. I told them a bit more about the fiesta and where did I see lately the step I finished with. My friend said it's buleria, but it's also possible to do it in tangos too in certain ways. Ilan said that he saw that photos I took at the fiesta and those photos are good. My friend took them a ride, I got back alone
Between classes I asked Andreu if he stay for our class too. Yeah, he did.
