Watch it, I don't give a damn

Back to improvisation at the studio of Neta. Looks like everything had to happen this time. I was walking there. Almost there - a guy who I don't know asked me for the hour. For a moment I thought it doesn't matter, but at the moment after when I went on - a guard of a super market nearby asked me what did the other guy asked me. I told him, the guard told someone else. Time to get into the street of the studio. A man from a big car looked at me like a hunter..... I wondered if I should bag Ilan to watch over me on the way back home after class. 

Inside the studio. Neta looked too happy and surprised to see me. Andreu was playing. At this class were only the assistant and the wicked witch this time. Ilan was there dancing with them. One wink to me when he saw me. I took of my daily shoes (this time those I normally take to the walks with my dog, but I had no mood to look for the other half of my regular couple), There was a little brake. I ran to Ilan. No, I won't bag yet for his protection but I have something else to say. Last year when he walked home with me we stopped some of times for eating ice cream. Today he wrote me that he wants ice cream because of a photo I sent him. I came to ask him if this evening we go to eat ice cream together after class. He said no, he need to take off some pounds from his weight. Are you crazy? Which weight? Neta asked us to stop with the talking and keep the silence. I went out to change. 

The snobbish came. She got into the studio when I went out. Got back. My friend went out and called me to come. After her went out Ilan and the snobbish. They went out to practice together. I made my hair and took my flamenco shoes. I joined them and was wearing my shoed next to them. Ilan finished to make a thing wanted to try. My friend thought on something else. No, she won;t do what she thought about, she will make me practice on being more clear to the guitar player and palmeros. Ilan and the snobbish looked like they are not sure if to join us with palmas or steps. After a while Ilan asked me to show my legs. I know he meant that I need to make bigger steps and so. Still - he want to see my legs? Fine! I don't give a damn if he wants to see my new tattoo or not, I will show him! I started a little war with my dress and took it higher where the place of the new tattoo. I didn't warn my friend about my tattoo and she also came to see what I'm showing. I think that the snobbish came for a moment as well. Ilan looked for a moment and was a bit afraid of the size and the fact it's like four (I made The Beatles). My friend said that I'm crazy. We went on. When we moved to steps which are easy for me - my friend said that now I started to dance. Ilan said "look who's here". The non clean one came this evening to try our class. She came to see us. She's been asked to join us. We made only a short practice more till the assistant asked us to get in.

Neta took off the big lights and took on the romantic ones near the mirror. She told a bit about this class to the non clean one. The wicked witch went away. She made a try to say "goodbye" few times. Nobody answered her, now that I'm sure how did I know her - she shouldn't think that I would be her protection at the studio. I gave my coin to Andreu, 

Class has started. We worked on steps. Neta fixed almost all of us. At my case - once I didn't notice where did I let my right elbow go. Neta asked us to work more from the body for each one will show the inside more by dancing and will have something more personal. By practice that it looked like she wants to tell me that I do well but didn't really say a thing. At other part I almost found myself on the wall and it took some time till we started stepping to the other side by dancing. First practice of solo for the day: each one shows only some steps (only the markaje) with the music without a real connection to the way a full dance build on. Neta showed us what she mean. The first to try was the non clean one. For first try of anything like this and the fact she still don't remember well the steps - she was really good. The easiest thing for me is being cynical. but I mean it this time. Ilan was next. Neta said that he still need to let go more for it more relax and with more movement. My friend... The opposite. At the very start Neta asked her to move a little less. After that it was good. When she finished (Neta asked for it) - she and Ilan had an argue what is easier, many moves or not. The snobbish made her try. I don't really have anything to say about it, probably Neta didn't have much more to say. At my case... I started with a step which I'm not sure if I made a choice of starting a dance with it or my friend made it to me. Before class we worked on it really hard and I thought there are easier steps. I made it like Neta and my friend told me to. For my big surprise it felt like it comes natural this time. Neta said few times that I do it well while I made it. I made few other steps. It felt like Neta stopped me not much after. She had something to fix me. It was quite and fast so I'm not sure what it was. I think it was keeping the beat better. Neta asked the assistant who already sitting to come and try. A talk has started and the assitant became nervous, probably because she didn't take a part in it. When she started it looked ridiculous to my eyes. It didn't disturb Neta to tell us that on a thing like the start people make the jaleo. None of us made a try to start jaleo. After that -  Neta said we should do this kind of practice each class for we all let go and use our bodies more. 

We started to sing the first letra of our tango. This time others came with the words and I forgot, but I handled it. Some it thanks to the fact I started to work on this tango at the sinning classes that I take now.  

Full solos. This time the non clean didn't try (or did I forget already?). I came for a start. I wasn't sure at myself. My body remind me that I'm tired and my head started to wonder another place. I git in as my friend taught me. Neta like it. I wasn't sure that I'm not rude that I want to go over the entrance. Still I made a sign to llamada and looked at Andreu for checking his respond. He looked like he takes it cool and understand me. I notice that he changed his playing for my wish. I made a try to make a llamada. Some of the steps ran out from my head. I made something which was clear enough and the others started to sing. I made few tries of this llamada. Each time - a moment before I made it I remembered it, when I made a try - something else came up. It freaked me out. And I needed that Neta will remind me to made the salida. It was almost better. Neta had nothing to say. The snobbish looked like it comes easy for her. Ilan wasn;t at his best. Although normally he dance better than I do (again - nothing cynical) - this time he had few black outs, he stopped and looked like he almost give up. The salida he made fast and funny. Anything just to finish. My friend took it as she should make it funny too. Some of it was funny when she really meant it. And it was cool. The assistant needed again a reminder to go up from the bench. She made a try to make it funny. If something was funny about it.... For the end Neta showed us something of hers too but more relax because of pains in her back. When she made the salida - the assistant took the control. Not only she was screaming the jaleo - she made the palmas faster. All of us went to palmas as the assistant, Andreu was palying faster because of it, Neta danced faster by screaming back that she didn't ask to make it faster. She finished her dance and again - she looked at the assistant and said over and over again that she didn't ask for this speed. She was almost crying at this moment. 

My friend took Ilan for a practice. I went to change. Till I went out - I started a talk with Ilan and my friend about palos we love and which we did. The snobbish had a bit to say of her own. for my surprise she noticed something that I said and asked my friend to notice it too. Four of us went out together. I guess that won't help a thing this year = I lan took a ride with my fried again
