Back to the escuela bolera

I guess you already know that I don't sleep. Almost never. I had some disturbs to do so since weekend. And I got cold. Not at my fault this time - again I came almost at the last moment to class with burning eyes. At the balcony Ilan was sitting with his back to the stairs and the dragon tattoo girl at the front for him. She probably told him that I came. He turned around before I made him a wicked surprise. I told what I meant to do and he said I was lucky I didn't do it cause I could get it back. It took me some time till I received back the attention of her. I said she was missing last class. She said that at the close time she won't be able to come at Wednesdays, but it's for a good thing. They went down to the studio. I changed. One of the girls looked at me like I'm crazy, probably because I wasn't shy at all and started to do it a moment before Ilan and the dragon tattoo girl went. I went down with my bottle of water and some tissues. Till class has started - Ilan helped some girls with the castanets. The happy one (of course) made it with lots of drama. She thought she need to dance like in a disco for that.

For the start of class - we stood in a circle and made a practice with the castanets. This time Mijal didn't say again about the difference between left handed and right handed at this part and she didn't ask me to stand next to her because of that. She just signed me for being sure that I remember. Yeah, I remember. After a while the happy one asked about it. I didn't notice how did she ask it, but it seems like she noticed that I do it different that the others. 

To the mirror. We made two exercises that we made also last week of using the castanets and moving like ballet exercise at the same time. I still get confused from time to time at sizes and I do need to practice more, but every time Mijal was looking at me - she didn't have what to say when it wasn't good enough to give a complement. Overs she fixed, mostly about moving the body in a way which doesn't fit. 

Dancing the part we learned so far from the escuela bolera. We learned how to play with the castanets by this time and not only how to move our hands. After a while Mijal brought a computer from her office. She let us hear the music from it. Although normally I don't like classic music (I know, a hole in my education. Let's leave it this way) - I enjoyed listening it. I guess that it's because of I learn dancing to it now and because it from the same time and remind of Bach. Although I don't like classic music normally - I don't have any problem with Bach and even he did write one thing which I love. We made few times turns of dancing with music at two groups. 

Taking off the castanets. We started to learn few steps of buleria. Looks like a start of... This one of the palos that I never get enoguh from and this is a happy one, so I just let myself to enjoy. After few steps (or most of them) - Mijal let us her a buleria song, buleria de Jerez, I sounds like a shong that I know. It doesn't really matter cause this song made me even more full of joy. For the end - Mijal asked from the looking girl to dance alone. She already remember the steps. After that - two more girls, each one alone. Fine, so one of them needed Mijal to do it with her cause she didn't remember the steps (but danced with grace) and the other one is her daughter (I think) who didn't really want to do it but she danced. And she asked from Ilan too. He didn't want, but at the end Mijal persuaded to do it with her.

After class I was talking with Ilan about tomorrow and he said he won't come. He will wait for my stories. I could understand that he leaves those classes because the change. After he finished the men's class we had a writing conversation, he thought I'm talking about something else.
