Finally - the show

All of us next to the curtains. Hidden. Ilan and the other man made the start with Lorca. The other man forgot the end of one of things. Ilan made and went on. For a start Neta said few things about that it's great that people has came to see this show although the war outside. It isn't course. By the way she was performing a lot in shelters at the south lately because of it....  My friend signed me to come for a place it was possible to see me from the audience. Yes, I've been seen. My mother, my sister and my niece were there. My sister pointed at me and three of them signed me for hello. OK, so they came in. I got relax. Show has started. Ilan and the other man made the start with Lorca. The other man forgot the end of one of things. Ilan made and went on. And Carmen. Neta and Ilan were dancing. 

After that Neta invited Andreu and Shuky to stage and said few words about them. Then she invited all the studio to stage. I got in a stool we called "a table". Others got there chairs, wine and cups. I stood next to Andreu as I have been told to. Seem like my friend was jealous at the rehearsal when I've been asked to do so. I'm in the middle of stage! Well, when she said something about at the rehearsal I didn't respond. After what happened at the evening before she may think that I asked for it. At the other side some other came in this way. The bottles of wine got open on stage while Neta was talking. We started drinking it on stage. Yeah, real wine on stage and we drank a cup when show hardly started.

The kids were dancing.  My niece signed me for hello few times. After that Neta told about the daughter of the snobbish woman. The daughter came back to stage (she got out for doing it). Her mother was petting her head, my friend was putting a flower on her hair, a kind a flower which goes as a cuckoo. The daughter was dancing a caña with bata we've been learning together two years ago. My niece asked to go out (probably for the loo, they came back again).

Beginners. My niece asked again to go out, but got back again. She and my sister moved to first row which wasn't full. My mother joined them. And the rondeña. Two chairs on stage at my side got empty. Three girls wanted to sit. My friend said we'll share one. Are you sure? Yeah, she was sure. We sat together and she whispered me that my sitting is pretty. OK. Neta went to change. After a while the other chair has been free again, I don't know how. My friend moved to the other chair. After that I noticed that the other man doesn't dance although he was suppose to. Weird....  It moved on to the dance with bata de cola. Three were dancing, if it was possible to call it this way. The snobbish woman and her daughter do it too much as a technique thing, much more than a dance (or at least I see it this way). The fat woman... I have nothing to say abut her try to dance. Neta came back with her bata and stayed to stand next to the curtain and was waiting. 

Andreu was playing a part of him alone. Putting on the castanets. And time for our siguiryia. None of us felt ready, but we made it. Few little mistake, but we went on like nothing happened. The audience loved us. I didn't like the mistakes, but I was glad we made it. At my little solo I noticed that the others who danced looked at me as I looked at them dancing. I was looking at them and at the audience till I heard in the music it's time to dance my few steps. From the place beside Andreu I could see the audience, at that moment alone I couldn't see the audience because of the lights. I was hopping they are looking at me. Amazing how far I came till now. When I only started I was afraid those moments and now I was sorry that I can't see the audience look at me. We finished and made our bow down. The other girls got back their places before, me and Ilan got back to the places we meant to start our tangos. Again at other sides of stage. An empty chair! I sat down, A beginner said that it was good, a thing which didn't disturb her to give me a knock at my hair. At least she said that she's sorry. Ilan didn't have time to sit. He moved on to dance his farruca. His famous farruca he was dancing before at Días de Flamenco with Igaely and Hadas. OK, so it isnt only his, Mijal worked on the steps, but Ilan dance it much more than her. 

Neta got back to stage with her new bata de cola and was dancing a new alegria. With all my respect to the talent of Neta, and although her new bata is beautiful - I was more busy looking at my niece. She signed me hello again. She was trying to show me something from her chair. Some kind of a plastic card. 

Neta asked all the studio to come for the the bow down. The girls came to their places for we'll do the tangos. Oh, Neta wants the bow down! My friend next to me and Neta nearby. My friend asked what about our tangos, I asked about fin la fiesta. We didn't suppose to do it this way, but Neta "accepted" we'll do it this way - while all studio stand with us. We made two letras and hardly made with sinning. Shuky noticed and sang to us. He remembered which is the third letra and sang us. We meant to start dancing, but Neta didn't accept. I saw the assistant go out for dancing at the other side, me and my friend at our side. Neta told us that we're cutting it and now it's the improvisation. My friend was first. The tangos... We didn't made it on stage at the rehearsal, so no photos from the run. Now I was trying to see if the photographer takes some photos. I didn't see him hold his camera for taking any photos. After a while that other made their parts Neta asked my friend to dance again. I was worried. Not only that I didn't see the camera pointed at us - I didn't dance yet. OK, so if my friend was dancing - it's my turn now. We finished the show not much after. 

Backstage after the show. When I finally came there - I saw my niece there. I came to her with hands wide open. She ran to me. I hugged her and held her on my hands. My mother and sister came with her. I took my niece to the dressing room where was Ilan. I called him. He was pleased to finally meet her, but my niece got shy and wanted to run again to her mother. They were still there. Neta said hello to my niece to. Ilan already knows my mother, but now he met my sister and her daughter too. I asked for another photo. He said that he rather change first and dry the sweat. While I was waiting - my sister took two photos of mine with my niece. My niece wanted to hold hands. When Ilan was ready he came for another photo. My niece wanted to join. I asked her if she wants it as well. My sister asked her after me. My shy niece noticed it's with Ilan and gave up. She got back to her mother and grandmother. 

I went to change. My niece wanted to see what happen with me. She came after me, my sister and mother after her. My sister asked her is she see how much I have to change. After that four of us went to eat lunch. usually our shows takes an hour or so. My mother and sister said it's already late. What time is? The show has started two hours ago...! Almost two hours of a show! My niece enjoyed it and I didn't notice the time.

At the way out I noticed at the garden next to the door few people. One woman who I don't know and I never saw before came through all of them. She came to me and asked me twice if she can say something to me. Yes she can. She said I moved her. She doesn't know from where I come from at life, but the way I was dancing just thrilled her. Thanks! Now I'm thrilled! After going on some more - the bata girl who made at the end only fin la fiesta asked me what will happen with the video and photos. I told her, but I couldn't say that I can't be sure if there are photos from the part we both did
