Sorry it took so long. I will try to get into the most important details (can't remember all, I'm still tired like hell, it takes me some time, I have some more things to do, still three classes at once....)
Monday - a class at the studio of Mijal. I came the same time with Ilan. He was shocked, mostly because he saw me walking the road. he was sure I can hurt myself this way. We were talking while watching the end of the class before and changing. When the other class has finished we got down to the studio with our castanets. Aylet was tired as much as I did, maybe even more but stayed. I asked her near Ilan is he didn't make her fall this time (a night before at a show). Ayelet laughed and said that this time not. Ilan said that I always start negative. The "ballerina" made a try to smile. She should stay away from me.
Class has started with some castanets drills. The nice one came that part. We had some drills of playing our castanets while making circles around the studio. At start - in a group. After that in couples. Well, most of us were couples. Ilan and me were with another girl. We were almost last. Ayelet and Moran were last. The nice one of Neta's studio and the "ballerina" were the couple before us and dragged their turns all the times. Mijal lost her patience at the last time.
Mijal asked us if we know to dance sevillanas. Not all did. I did learn long time ago and didn't have with who to dance it, I remember it fuzzy. Mijal said that Migeul asked her to dance sevillanas at his wedding, she still don't have a partner for that. We need to learn sevillanas in case we'll be invited for a wedding. She may do a workshops for sevillanas. Ilan made me some faces that it's about time for me.
And a try to repeat some parts of the escuela bolera. And all again and again. Not all came out smooth for me, but from time to time I can see Mijal smile to me at those classes when we do the escuela bolera. If I noticed right - it happened this time again. It's a kind of smiles that I can understand as she likes the way I dance it.
And dancing the buleria. We didn't have much time for it but we had some time to repeat it few times. Between classes came back a nice guy from Mijal's company. Ilan helped him to remember the buleria. My friend came and asked me why don't I stay for next class. I can't. I already have three classes a week, I don't have the money for one more, that's before we remind it's men's class. She said it became girls' class. Oh, many men came this time....
Tuesday. A class at the studio of Neta. There was a bata class. Ilan made a practice outside. Few more girls outside. I asked him if he want to see the video of the farruca Miguel was teaching. He said that he want to go on with the practice. I asked him if he would like to see after class. He said that he may. I went to change. My friend came. Meeting at the loo. She asked me why didn't I stay for another class a night before. Miguel came for a visit. Damn! He didn't tell me a thing and he took a flight this morning! Ilan finished his practice and sat down to talk with the girls. I asked Ilan if Miguel really came. Ilan said that he did. I can't remember what pissed me off even more about this visit. I remind him about the personal meeting I had with Miguel this time. He didn't let me finish and told the girls that I started an argue with him who has a bigger between us. Neta called us in for our class and said that she was sure we didn't come.
A little practice on the letras of tango. And the way we'll stand in the show. She had in mind that we'll be tall-short-tall. Between letras - a line. At letras - two letras the tall ones will be at the front, at the second letra the short ones will be at the front. Ilan will be at the other side of the musicians. I will be between my friend and the Russian girl. I said that I feel like I ran away from Lilliput. My friend was the only one who gave attention to it and it took her a little time to understand. Even when she did - she was sure I'm talking only about the Russian girl who's tall. Anyway, the Russian girl doesn't understand the meaning of two lines in the letras. She didn't accept to be in a different line than me and got too close to me. The friend of the assistant won't mind about it, she decided that she won't do this part at the show. She goes on with it at classes, but she won't do it on the stage.
Solos. Neta asked us to do it in a random order. I was pretty in the middle with it. Some who made it before me couldn't come back their places, the snobbish woman made a bit more than this mistake. Neta still was amazed. When my turn... One thing or two things I meant to do I forgot and once I made it a bit different. I noticed Ilan looked at me very seriously at the start. I couldn't hear any jaleo. Still I let myself being free and go on dancing. I made the end without the ordinary mistakes. That moment made the rest call "ole!". Fine, few steps that I meant to do stayed out, but I made it. The shocking thing for me was that a moment after Neta said that I was great. Till that moment the best comment I could get from her was "OK". Ilan was right after me. He made some things which normally make him fail (too sure of himself), but this time it only made him dance better. From that moment Neta started to say that all of us came with great energies and all of us on out best. The week brake we had... No, at my case Miguel gave me some good energies (and few less sleeping hours). We had only one turn this time. I was sorry because I wanted to make the steps I forgot to do, but I guess I couldn't do it better now. And time for siguiryia.
Repeating the siguiryia a bit, I made a try to remind Ilan and my friend that behind them there is a dwarf (yeah, I meant to myself). My friend understood it as I want her place. No, I didn't learn this siguiryia from start of year, she remember it better. Once in all those years that I don't have a problem NOT to be in the front. Once I made a mistake and played my castanets when it didn't mean to just because I heard Neta. It made Ilan stressed and he asked few times if it includes castanets.
And we have a new part of standing. Not all we dance in lines. Two couples and one more. I'm a couple with the snobbish woman, Ilan with my friend. First time I made a mistake and moved over the snobbish woman too much. We started this part again because of me. Few more times just for the practice. And last steps we learned - we do it all of us in a circle together. Once Ilan got in at a place he wasn't suppose to be (instead of the snobbish woman). He made the circle behind me. And stepped on me. I looked at him. They both - Ilan and the snobbish woman looked at me like waiting for a respond. All of us go on. And TAK! I knocked a castanet next to his nose. He looked amusing. When we finished this part I told him that when I was in his age I still didn't step on others. It doesn't matter that I still didn't get his age. And a going out of the circle. Neta told us where to go. I found myself in the other side. I went behind all. No, I can't do it. She changed places. My head still was at the place she asked for earlier. Again for me. My friend had something to say about it that the change came for me. Few more times before the end of class. Ilan had one more weird think to say. One more knock with one castanet in the front of his face.
Still they were talking at diets, hell knows why. At the way out I gave Ilan my camera for showing him the farruca. He was amazed. Near the parking we stopped. He still was looking. My friend came to look a bit too. After all she had to say before against Miguel - now she asked Ilan why didn't he go to the workshop. And how amazing is Miguel. Did you found it only now? Yes, she didn't know him before so she couldn't know what a person he is. Not even one bad word this time about the dance. Last time I showed her and it took her a moment to say it's boring. Neta didn't want to see because it was "boring" that time.
Wednesday - Going back to the studio of Mijal. This time no one from Neta's studio accept me. Ofir was there to play and sing instead of the ordinary guitar player. After the class of the very advanced Moran went away because she didn't feel well. The girl who usually next to me on Wednesdays lost her shoes. Moran gave her to try hers before she goes. Didn't fit/ Mijal found her another couple and offered her to right a note. I was starting a short conversation with Ofir. He want out for a bit (probably for a cigarette).
At the start - a short warming untill Ofir got back into the studio. All class after we worked on parts of the solea without really dancing all in a row. About me - if I could only sleep... Once I rubbed my eyes because of the burning. Mijal noticed it and smiled. I know why. She always say that if we come tired to the studio it means that we want to learn. I'm sure it was clear I'm tired. Very tired.
At the end there was a reminder we need to go back a bit to the liviana. Mijal asked Ofir if he knows how to play/sing liviana. He said that no. Mijal said she can tell him how, it came from her. Ha ha... By the way - next Wednesday she won;t be there because of the wedding. She needs to go one day. She had in mind that Yael will replace her again with her stuff. No, few said that we need to repeat the solea and liviana first. Looks like we will do so with Ayelet
Monday - a class at the studio of Mijal. I came the same time with Ilan. He was shocked, mostly because he saw me walking the road. he was sure I can hurt myself this way.
