Back to the studio of Neta

This time I came way too early. It was at the middle of the class of technique. Andreu was paying to them. Ilan didn't give up on this class and took a part. There were some who didn't take this class last year, mostly women who I already know - includes one who took a year brake and a Russian girl who took another class till now. The Russian girl is a weirdo. I met her once in a show. It looked to her normal that a "stranger" knows that she's about to travel Barcelona, but she was surprised I know that Neta is her teacher.  Neta from her side called me with pleasure. One brake of a moment there - I asked Ilan if he really stay for the next class. Yes he is.

There was someone new who never danced in this studio before. She didn't make it to the end. From some reason Neta thought it's for the best to kiss my cheek. It took me by surprise. 

I went to change. I got back to the studio and sat there. It took only a moment till I thought it freaks me out just to look from the side. If I'm there - I wanna take a part. I had a long time to freak out like this. They started to work on circles - first at their places. It included one circle that I thought at the first moment it's too bad that I don't know how to do, but after a moment I remind that I did work on it last year. When they started to make 2-3 in a row - Ilan was the only one who made a practice on it. They started to work on circles all over from the other side of the studio. Ilan offered someone to be his partner. I started to be jealous - I suppose to do it with him! When Neta started to show how to make it - she looked at me. When all came to my side I found out that I wasn't the only one who thought something didn't work out well there. Ilan said it's wrong that I don't take this class now, with who he's gonna do the circles now? It gotta be me! The other time they did it to my side Neta asked them to look at me for they will have a point. When he came to my side we switched questions: he asked me why don't I do it, I have to take a part. I asked him why didn't he look at me all the time. The Russian told me that I moved to her and she missed because of it. I said that I'll do my best NOT to repeat this mistake. They finished it a moment after. 

The snobbish woman came with a bottle of wine for the new year. Neta asked her if we're gonna start with it now. Maybe we'll do it once a month, or two weeks... She asked the snobbish to join them for the last practice. Not me. I still looked from the side with jealousy. I'm not gonna take this class. I don't have enough money for another class and I rather take the one which Ilan can walk with me back home after class. If not him - I probably wouldn't come back at all to this studio, not even for one class. After that Neta changed the lights and asked Andreu to play something romantic. They made the relaxing movements. Some looked funny. I rather join them...... 

Between classes - Ilan opened the wine bottle. The cork jumped on the window and we all looked worry. Neta gave CD's with videos of the end of year show. We still don't have the photos... A bit of wine and the other class has started. 

Although the bimbo and the new nice one didn't come - there were more than last year. The old woman who's friend of the assistant stayed, the fat woman too. The tall one stayed and said it's a trial. The weird Russian stayed. Neta said that for a start she want to give us to hear something. Take benches and sit. Ilan and Andreu sat on one. Before anyone could take this place - I sat next to Ilan. Order back to normal. The snobbish sat next to me. Neta said that she didn't know that we'll be so many, so not enough pieces of paper. She gave us paintings of "trees" with palos. Somehow Ilan said that I could tell about this. I told him that Idit said so at the workshop. He said that I really can, I could demonstrate it too - all of it. I think he went too far. We moved on it for a while.

After that - Neta gave more pieces of papers, this time with letras. One was of tangos, one of alegria and one of buleria. We listened to the letra of alegria, sang it a bit, palmas... I said that I can't run away this palo. I was shocked. I did think that if I will come this class I won't have more alegrias, not for now. Ilan whispered me that this palo is my destiny. There was a moment that Neta asked to sign on the paper things about the letra. Ilan and the snobbish woman asked me in turns why don't I sign. It will be fine. I hope so... I hope that I won't throw up because of the alegria. After a while Neta asked if we rather dance alegria or move the tango first. I said "tango". Accept me no one said a word. Once again - Neta asked if we rather dance alegria or work on the tango first. This time I said louder "tango" while no one else said a word. We sand the letra of tango. Neta complained that I didn't sing loud enough. She can go on with it - I was still shocked from the alegria and I'm still a terrible singer. 

We started to work on steps of tango. After a while the Russian asked to take a video. Neta said it will be for the best. I took my camera and made another video. Neta and her assistant were pleased cause they knew that I will upload the video for out closed Facebook group.  We worked on it a bit more.

After a while Neta showed us an option how to improvize with it. Then she asked who wants to try. There was a silence in the start. The assistant asked Ilan, Ilan asked the assistant. After a while she made a try cause she was already at the middle. After that Ilan had been called by Neta to try. The assitant made a try to push me to dance. It didn't work out. For the end - Neta asked the snobbish to dance. 

After class I showed Neta my new fan and hairpins. She liked it, but I found out by the way that my new fan is a bit broken after all. It took some time to go cause Ilan wanted to talk with Neta and it was almost impossible. I was waiting for him. He walked me home as I wanted and I showed him the video from the workshop by the way
