Improvisation and more

Almost at the last moment, not enough sleeping, a long day (but fun), a moment before going out got some stress.... I didn't know how will I function. At the bata calss were only the fat woman (her husband behave when not all there and sit with a book) and the snobbish woman. Andreu was there this time. I went to change and hardly had time for wearing my flamenco shoes. 

We started with working on the newest steps of tangos. This time I didn't need to remind anything. We made a combination with it. Neta said that after all of us do it together - each will do it alone. I was afraid she will start to talk at my turn. My friend came at this point. I don't know what happened to her, it was too hard for this time to notice me. At the end non of us needed to do it alone.

Working on a new short combination for a llamada. And some old steps. Then each dance her own solo while using the last combination. Neta called each of us for her turn by a random order. Most of girls were before me and made mistakes. This time the bata girl got most of fire from Neta and gave up. The Russian made her part while stealing (again) my idea of how to make the salida. Then me. Great, now it looks like I'm stealing from her... I had a black out once or twice when it was taking the combination that Neta asked us to do. I think that I even stood at my place for few seconds (usually it does NOT happen even when I got a black out). Neta started to dance with me. The luck was that she stood in a place that I could ignore her. I made a try to give Andreu a lot of attention for being sure that we communicate. Accept the black outs I was fine. Of course Neta didn't say a thing and asked my friend to finish the round. She made it fine and now she also took my idea for the salida... Neta asked us to move to the  siguiryia (not even one good word).

We worked on the newest steps again and learning a continue. Neta asked me and the friend of the assistant to do different from my friend and the snobbish woman. For some new steps she asked to take the castanets. The snobbish woman also took. The assistant and her friend worked on trying do palmas for this part. I asked it I suppose to take my castanets. Neta asked me if I rather dance and play my castanets or do palmas with the assistant and her friend. Tough choice... I ran to my bag for taking my castanets. We learned some new things, not much using the castanets at this part. 

And dancing all the siguiryia. My friend made a solo and made it well. The assistant and her friend made palmas, the snobbish woman and me knocked our castanets. At the part we join - some of time the snobbish woman did try. I made a try all the time. 

Neta took a brake for the loo and asked us to dance again. I took a water brake. No one made a try to dance. My friend said that the snobbish woman abandoned her. The assistant and her friend asked the snobbish woman from where does she has her castanets and how does she know how to play on it. My friend took a stand and said that the snobbish woman dance for 200 years. I knocked on one of my castanets, the one at my left for using all fingers. The base things returns to me and feels so easy, mostly after what I had recently with it. At the siguiryia, at least at the parts which I dance it isn't too complicated, I just need to remember the order and time. 

Neta got back. Once again dancing. My friend made some mistakes this time of black out at the part that none of us can do it with her. Neta joined her a bit. When we joined the part of all of us (which became most of it) - the snobbish woman hardly used her castanets. Dance for 200 year, blow so much wind and made a try to join at earlier classes with it, now - she had the castanets at her hands mostly for a beauty. I misses once but made a try for playing each time it needed. 

Till next week.... And have some new problems with Facebook while trying to upload the video of the new steps to our closed group
