Once again - running to the studio. I didn't have a ride and missed the bus in a moment. And didn't sleep well at the night before or at the afternoon. At the middle of the way I finally remind that the dragon tattoo girl offered me to call her in a situation like this. Never mind. I wasn't sure if it's still possible cause last week she wanted me to come a lecture that I wasn't sure about instead of flamenco. Maybe she's too angry with me... I can do it. I was dancing many times before 3 hours in a row, at least once got back from this studio walking. And no antibiotic... I came early and feel like sweating. Ilan came a moment before me and chained his bike outside. Vlada and Kirill were sitting there outside talking Russian. I thought it's weird place to sit and talk, but it isn't my business and I was sure they were waiting for next class. I made a try to give Ilan a piece of paper with an article I thought he can find as interesting. He said he needs some light for the "drugs' deal". I gave him inside at the end. He laughed when he saw the headlines and said he wwill read it later. By changing I made a try to talk, but it was hard because of the advanced class that happened. He stayed to sit on the balcony, watching class from there while talking with the nice one (another tattooed girl), I got down. The dragon tattoo girl was there. She wasn't angry at all and I was nervous with no reason. At a water brake Idit came to say "hello". It was after the Clasico Español class meant to start. A matter of 10 minuted earlier or so. Their class ended in 20 minutes late or so, 2-3 more minutes of brake between classes. I wondered if we'll get back our time back.
Body's warming. Many movements of Clasico Español again and again till it became a bit exhausting. Once we needed to stop in a certain standing for Hugo will check us. He fixed few girls, I was at the middle. He stopped next to me and touched a bit to show me how to change the standing. I thought that moment and a bit after it's amazing that I was still relax. Till recently if I went to a workshop or any teacher that I'm not used to and he/she noticed my mistakes and fixed it - I could get nervous with no reason. I'm not sure if it was because he made it gently, because I got some self confidence or both options are right.
Taking the castanets. A lot of practice. He was walking between us for checking we're holding the castanets right. Again - he stopped next to me and changed a bit the angle of my palms. A lot of practice on playing the castanets while walking, taking the hands up, down, to the sides.... From time to time it was a bit confusing. Once when we were standing he came to me for "sinning" to me the sound the castanets needs to do. After a while he said "yes" and back to the front. After a while he asked if we have some questions. No one had. He looked at me and asked again about questions. I shook my head for "no". He made me a face of surprise.
We danced a lot. Many new steps. Our class meant to finish, some of men came to next class, some of the ordinary girls as well. Still less than last week. We got our time back and more. The dragon tattoo girl and another woman who I know through workshops (and till not by name or studio) made me understand that I have something precious that others don't have - a hand watch. They started to ask me again and again what is the time. The woman who I don't know her name said that she has a train to catch. We still worked a lot on new steps. After that we made few times with the steps of last week. Few minutes before our class finished - the nice girl got angry, pulled off her castanets and went to the balcony.
A moment of brake. Ilan started to dance with two men of Mijal's company, the dragon tattoo girl and another girl. A farruca they usually have the men's class. I was looking. Hugo let them finish till a llamada, said "ole, you're warm now, no?". The unknown men came back to the dancing part, the nice one got back. Not many. My ordinary place at the studio in ordinary classes was really crowded. I went to the other side, still behind, this time between Ilan and Ayelet. This class started with legs' warming. A short thing. It started with something easy for my level, but for someone tired and with "head in the clouds" - it was a bit confusing. Hugo came to show me how to do it, this time just by standing in the front of me and do it himself. I was a bit ashamed this tome cause I know it isn't such a big problem and still I needed help. After a while it pretty got into my head and legs.
After a while we had something which could be a part of warming, but it was some new steps to the martinete. Many new steps to the martinete... One step with getting a circle went well to me and I thought it's a beautiful part, but after a long practice I wished to move on. Not much after I got tired we did move on.
A long practice of the new steps - with or without the steps of last week. Hugo was sinning to us while we were dancing. Near the end Hugo told about a dancer who made it "too ballet" for people at his time. I still need to check his name again. Near the very end - Hugo told about the beginning of martinete. I know the story by others, but it didn't disturb me to hear it again from him. Once again to dance all. Hugo said he don't mind if we'll do some mistakes, it's late and probably tired. It went pretty good for the hour and ability after a long dancing.
Hugo said he's sorry it went this way. The other classes went out time, next week he will try to make it on time - start and finish. The hour was near 23:00. Still talking. Hugo accepted to write to me the name of dancer he was talking about. After a while the fellows were talking about dancing clubs at Tel Aviv. I was mostly listening and laughing. They made it crazy. Ayelet was still dancing down there at the studio. The shouter asked her if she never take a rest. The nice one said that no, Ayelet never takes a rest. Didn't take long till he was shouting "Ayelet! Stop with it! I don't hear!" All of us laughed (Ithink he's crazy, that made me laugh). Hugo started to talk about some food he can get it here but it isn't the same in Spain. We started to give him some tips of where which food to get here which is typical to the area. Ilan said he still need to stay. He asked Ayelet if she stay or go. The nice one said that of course she's here, where else would Ayelet can be? Still few goodbyes and talking.
I got back home lame something like at 23:30 or few minutes later. My dog demanded (with justice) that his night walk won't wait any longer. I hardly made it. It went slowly while I was holding on the way any tree or car that I could for I won't fall
