Oh my god... Needed time to relax, really relax. Not enough that on Friday I danced sick (that's over, but now I probably start a cold....) and still don't sleep enough or take enough moments of just rest - now this. I came by foot, already a real warming. Her studio is more far for me although it's possible to walk there too. Came totally stressed cause I didn't know how it's gonna be and no more power in my body because of the walking in the hot air.
Two girls were outside near the door. It was useful for me cause even it isn't my first time there (came there for two workshops of Miguel), and although the door was a bit open - it wasn't enough for getting in and I couldn't open it more. One of the girls opened for me the door. As I'm not used to it any more (checking a new studio) - a bit too late I remind that I didn't ask if for me it will be a real trial to fit, or just watching from the side. There was another class and all were so busy, so I couldn't ask if to change or not. Just to be ready - I went to the "balcony" there (it looks like a balcony in my eyes, but it's inside the studio and watch to the studio), I changed my shoes and a skirt replaced the jeans.
Got back to the studio level and watched the end of the over class. It's in a level for pros. Not many girls there, but most of them from Mijal's company. It looked really cool and I wondered how long did it take them to learn all of it. They still had many questions and I know that the class that I came to check starts this evening with a new dance. It looked to me not human to learn so many steps in this level in just one hour and a half. If they did learn it in such a short time - they are REALLY good! Mijal noticed me and smiled for a moment. She got back to class. Meanwhile - the part of watching from the side has started to be crowded and I needed to move all the time for girls could move there. The girls in the class (includes those from the company) started to miss. I was happy to see it because I could see they are humans after all. Mijal liked it much less. Mijal wanted to finish the class, but one of the girls (which I think isn't in the company) wanted to dance again. She let the song "run" again and went out. When she came back - a hand on my shoulder. She said that she see that I came to dance. I said I'm sorry and because I'm not used to it - I forgot to ask her if it's gonna be just watching from the side or not. She said that fine, if I'm already there with flamenco clothes' - it's gonna be for me a trial class. I can get in and feel what's good for me.
I found a place in the back. I don't want to disturb those who already knows what's gonna happen, and it can be a way to watch others when I'm not sure. There was someone who really came to watch from the side. In the studio itself - if I will join will be a place maybe to one more. Three of the company stayed there for this class. They took places in the back as well. And there was a kido who is probably also new there.
Mijal asked what the class wants for a start. Of course I couldn't say a thing cause I didn't know what are the options. So, it was about the music and one of the girls really wanted the music of last week. The music was relaxing. Hands' warming. I love it! It isn't really like the way Neta do it, but there is something in the idea and feeling. Ok, maybe I was too stress earlier. In few points I wondered if the hands' warming ever changes. It looked like the others knew what Mijal is about to do like there is the same certain thing in each warming.
And some stretching. I know that Adi learned from Mijal after she made the base. Now I could see some methods which through to Adi. Adi makes it different, but few things comes in the same idea and I could see it now.
The funny part of the evening... Mijal started to tell about the problems with the air conditioners in the studio, the fixings and the new problems which started with the fixings. All laughed from the stories, even me although I always need a good working air conditioner around - mostly when it's hot outside or when I dance (or both). I never thought before it's possible to make laugh with jokes on air conditioners...
Legs' warming. Few drills which were new to me, but the others knew what's gonna happen. It was enough that Mijal said something or showed one thing for all will do something pretty complicated. It's complicated cause of the little things which makes it together/ Each step alone isn't too hard. Once Mijal came to me to check what I did. It felt all stopped and I wasn't sure waho's watching. From the stress I hardly could do anything, even though I knew it's something which suppose to be easy for me. It took me some time to make it. She came to others as well with things like this, so I got relax again. Still all others stopped each time Mijal came to one of the girls. And she came back to me once again. And the girl who who the easiest for me to look at - started to make mistakes and forget. She also looked at others. In other time I lost my balance and didn't know what happened. Mijal told me from her place to make the move from the stomach. It really helped, but then we moved to other steps. One of the girls who comes there anyway started to ask some questions and didn't know how to go on.
Next part - Mijal asked all to go to the corner. That thing... Even that it's my first time in this studio and this teacher - I understood it means circles. It always goes this way when a teacher wants to teach how to make circles around all the studio. Still I wasn't sure how it's gonna be cause there are many ways how to make it while the real thing that goes the same is the point of start. And some ask to make it one by one, some in couples, some ask to do it all together... Mijal showed something. They made it in couples. I let all do it before I do. In the end - it was only me and the kido. Mijal came to do it with us. For me it fell like I mostly forget when to stop. It includes a little brake of standing which I hardly could remember when. And this brake was new to me as well. With other teachers it just go on till getting to the other corner. Mijal needed to say "stop!" few times for I won't go on. I heard someone say "wow!". I couldn't see if this girl looked at me and if it was as a good thing. After we finished this side - Mijal said to the kido it isn't matter. Will be better. And to the other side. Me and the kido naturally were in the end again. Mijal came to do it again with us, but then she asked one of the girls from her company to do it with us.
And moving to other kind of circles. It wasn't with any brake and till I came back to my place - they already started. It was one of the circles in the place which I learned now from Adi. I still missed once. The worst thing that I missed when I saw Mijal really watching me. Still she corrected someone else.
And dancing. There is a new dance. A liviana. Mijal put a start of music and stopped it. She made a try to think. Well, it's a liviana from one of her shows (can't remember which. but probably something that I saw). The girls from her company remind her the steps. After few steps and few minutes of learning - we stopped for Mijal will tell how does this palo goes and from where it comes from. We made palmas. And really dancing. Accept hands' warmings this is the thing which I love the most in classes - learning something which is new to me, dance it and feel no stress of end of year. It was new to all accept the dancers from Mijal's company. Maybe not really new to me after all the shows I saw, but I didn't remember it anyway and I never danced liviana before. Others had mistakes no less than I did. And try it in another way. The entrada can go how we learned it, and we can do it in couples - each couple do the first step fast and waits to the others. It We danced twice this way. Accept the new start went naturally - I think I missed a bit with other steps we already worked on.
Fine, now the colombiana that they learned till now. The girls took fans. I told Mijal that I think that in this point it's better that I will sit in the side and just watch. Fine. I looked. Some made mistakes, even the pros. One of the girls stopped in the middle and mostly looked as well. Still it took me a short time to thing why does it looks familiar. It's from a show, I'm sure that I saw it and if the liviana comes from a show... A moment - it isn't just any show! It looked to me like from Pavo Real - one of productions that Mijal and her company had with Miguel Angel. I saw this show twice. Second time was last December, few days before the second workshop I took with him. I remember well the second time, a lot of this memory was thanks to the dramas which came after that (I was waiting outside with Ilan. Ilan saw the kisses and hugs I received from Miguel after and pretty shocked from it). Fine, for end of class - whoever wants to dance the colombiana again is welcome to do so.
I was talking with Mijal outside while some girls did dance. I almost went to change again and I came back to ask her. It's from a show, isn't? The colombiana is from Pavo? Yes, I remembered well!
I will have one more evening to check if like it more
