Maybe it's cruel of me to do it...

So... I went before twice to workshops of Belén Maya. Second time was in the summer - one before the last one. The first - a summer before. Both were in Israel. First time was outside Tel Aviv, second time in Tel Aviv. The second time has started a bit after I started to write this blog (two weeks after or so). From the second time I don't have any photo with her, but the first time... I have a photo and it made a little drama. I could go again but... Last time she was in Israel was a year ago. She also performed and also came Miguel Angel pretty close (the same month). I couldn't pay for ALL, so I thought that fine, she also perform this time, I went twice to her workshops while I never been before in any workshop of Miguel. I went to her show and a show that she was a guest dancer. I went to the workshop of Miguel and his show. So the drama with the photo... Belén lost her suitcase in the airport and couldn't be with flamenco' clothes all the workshop (three days). In the second day I asked her to have a photo with her. She accepted. After I got back home... I thought she won't mind if I'll upload the photo to facebook. For me it was for showing that I went to this workshop, nothing more. In the third day she sent Neta who brought her to tell me how wrong it was and I must delete this photo. The last day of workshop has started with a speech that we can have photos with her, make videos of the dance, but we are NOT allowed to upload the photos and videos to facebook. In the second time - we could have videos of the dances, but... Not to point the cameras to her. Third time when I didn't come... Few days before another fan uploaded to facebook a photo of both after a class. Too easy to see it was after... In the end of this workshop in Israel - I saw a photo of all students with Belén and with Neta (who's dramatic as well with her photos). When I asked Neta about this photo - she said that it impossible to control what everybody upload to the internet. Still, with time....I see more and more photos of Belén with fans before/after workshops. I know that for other dancers it won't mind. I have photos with other dancers and for none of others mind to have those photos in facebook. And all others have many other photos with many other fans. It runs in facebook... I think that maybe it's cruel, but if others can upload their photos with Belén, why can't I? Apology - she is very professional, I think she's an amazing dancer and a great teacher, but she had a problem with pro clothes because of her missing suitcase. She got it back after the class of second day.
