This time - accept being cold and tired - I came in panic about how it's gonna be. The husband of the fat woman was waiting there outside without looking at the girls from the window. Ilan took a practice outside. Inside - Andrue was playing. Now the class before is a class of bata de cola. The only ones at this class were the snobbish woman, her daughter and the fat woman. The assistant was sitting there at the side. I went to change. After I took my stuff back and took my dancing shoes - I got back out for talking. Ilan stopped for me and for my friend who came. Someone who calls herself "a flamenco teacher" (I saw how she dance, I have no idea how did she become a teacher) use to come the Sunday classes of advanced as they did with the siguiryia. They see her as friend of them (one more thing that I can't understand, I think that she isn't good enough for them). As they talking about her - the non clean one came too. The "teacher" took it very bad that Neta closed the classes of Sunday although this year many left her and not enough came on Sunday this year. My friend said that she told the "teacher" that she suppose to understand cause she has a studio of herself needs to know that suppose to be a minimum of people for teaching without loosing money, and this is before reminding that at last years Neta doesn't live at Tel Aviv and comes from outside the city for that. All of us found the way to get into the studio before the class of bata finished. I couldn't notice which palo it is, even after Ilan made them palmas for a shortwhile. I couldn't stop thinking of the caña we had two years ago. Not all, but many of the steps there are just the same... What a luck I didn't take it this year! Not only this small studio - also a dance which remind something which I learned before.
I've been told that the talented kiddo from Sunday classes of the last two years left. The "ballerina" came back and suppose to come (what a joy she didn't come this evening). Accept that - the Russian girl didn't come (probably too much for her). The fat woman and the daughter of the snobbish woman stayed to join us.
Our class has started with listening to the new tango Neta sent us. A try to sing, a bit a part of it.... After that - a practice of very few steps of the tangos. We went for a half circle. From the start Neta said that the daughter and the fat woman don't have to dance at this part if they don't want to. We didn't go by order we stood this time, but through the order Neta asked us. The first was the snobbish woman. I don't know what happened to her. Although I don't like her style - I know she can do much better than she did this time. She stopped moving more than once just to think.... Ilan was the second and of course was great. Looked like he was pleased I made him a bit of jaleo, at least at the start. I came after him. I made a try to make my entrade like my friend offered me to do (a matter of few weeks ago). Somehow I found myself do it in a way that i started to wonder if it's the same or more jaunty. At the continue - I wasn't sure and Andrue probably noticed it. He made the llamada part in a way I could be sure when to get in. He stood up and stood with the others without to stop playing. I made some. I think I heard some jaleo, but I was busy listening to the guitar and sinning for I could know what to do. At least at one step I think I made a mix of two things, but I wasn't worry about that. I just let myself do what happen to me at this moment. At the moment I turned make my salida I started to notice the others more that the palmas and sinning. If I saw their faces right - they were smiling in a way which made me feel like I made it well. I started to notice a lot of jaleo at my salida, but I missed again at the very end at the steps I needed to practice... I finished and looked at the faces of all. They all looked back and through their smiles I started to be proud at myself. My pride took one little moment which Neta stopped by saying "OK" and we all made a little practice on the problematic steps. The friend if the assistant made a try to start, but gave up fast. She accepted to dance only with Neta, but even then it took some time to stop complaining that she doesn't know what to do and started to look at Neta. My friend was great. The assistant... She probably was correct, but I hate her style again. Neta asked the fat woman if she wants to try. She jumped to the daughter in a wish to do it with her, a moment after she said that both of them with Neta. After their turn Neta asked if I did. All did.
What's the time? A half class was over by the new time. Neta said that now we move to the siguiryia, so whoever wants to stay will stay, others can go. All stayed. So, as far as only few started the siguiryia from the start - they will do their part, all they did till now. All the "new ones" will learn some simple things and all will mix together. We all took castanets cause it's a part of the siguiryia. Neta asked to put it down.
We listened to a start of siguiryia for making an entrada. The fellows who started from September (Ilan, my friend and the daughter) started to try to remember if it starts with the back or not. They and Neta said it doesn't really matter now cause we start from new. It much more matter what looks better and what do we like more. So, all of us worked on a new entrada which doesn't need castanets. At the moment Neta asked if we want to make it "heavy" - the few (and I'm one of them) said that yes, we want it "heavy. So it was.
The "old guys" took their castanets and made few times the part they learned so far. Really nice. I started to feel sorry that I didn't learn it, but... I guess that this is the only way I can learn a siguiryia from Neta - from the middle or by the way. It took them few times to do it right. Ilan was the only one between three of them who rememberd how does it end. Neta asked all of us to join and learn the last steps. We suppose to join them again at this part. I still don't know if we will use catantes in the future at this class.
Any case, even with the extra time we had - we went on after time. The new parts of siguiryia - there are few videos, not all mine. I apologized that mine will wait for tomorrow. I'm not sure how much it's possible to see it from your side, but my computer needed a fix. It was at a fix since Sunday and got back today. At least I have a WIFI connection at home and my dad accepted to give me his non cables computer till mine returns. So, mine got back, but tomorrow morning I will get some help to connect it back. I rather to download the videos to my computer tomorrow, my dad's computer has enough from me now
