I had a crazy weekend. Some has nothing to do with flamenco, some has a small connection (a birthday party of son of a good friend who dance flamenco), some have all the connection (a workshop and fiesta). Yesterday I had a long sleep at the afternoon which made me feel good, but after that another craziness. I'm still try to hold on. This way I came to another class at the studio of Mijal.
I came well, but took me some time till I really started to change. Ilan was there and he was ready. We didn't speak enough at last days, so... The class before was very loud so needed to talk ear to ear. I was telling him a bit about the fiesta (he didn't read this part). I was telling him about a part which I forgot to write anyway. Idit didn't mean to dance, but she made most of us to think that she's about to. We made her "ole". Didn't help her that she said that she doesn't want to, we made her few more "ole" till she danced. By the way Ilan asked me if it will be fine if he will use a photo or two that I took of him. The idea that I took the photos was an exhibition that I will take a part in and will start at March. He needs some photos for an agent and he said it's the best he can give. He promised to give me the credit for taking the photos and I believe him.
Between classes Ilan made a practice with the friend of the happy one, I was mostly looking. The looking girl had something to ask them. I didn't think that we were talking enough, but it was impossible to stop them until our class has started. Not all came and it looked pretty sad.
The class has started with a circle. We made a practice on the castanets. Being the only lefty around at this class and sleepy made me too confuse. I had the moments which I thought of how to make it opposite than others. Yeah, my situation was THAT bad.
After that - few drills of escuela bolera in the front of mirror. And circles all over the studio while playing the castanets. It started with a short reminder of how to do it, after that do it in couples. I was with Ilan as second couple. This time there was no need to plan it at the first round. When we did the second round for the other side - I confused him. He wasn't ready to the end that I stay with him.
And dancing the escuela bolera. At the start just steps and hands without laying the castanets, after that all we learned so far. Again and again. We had some new steps to learn. We made some more practice on it.
Taking off the castanets. We made a practice on a part of the buleria. After that - all. And we had some new steps to the buleria as well. Few times all the buleria with the new steps before the class was over.
Before I went - I was talking some more. Ilan stayed for the men's class which wasn't full this evening......
