Third evening with Hugo

The thing that I would love to do the most now is sleeping. Once again - over than 3 hours dancing with not enough sleeping hours and running to the studio and walking back. And still - maybe it will be for the best if I will try to write about it now. Tomorrow is another crazy day. I mean - since morning. Here is already after midnight. 

I don't know how did happen that till now each class with Hugo I didn't have my ordinary ride to the studio. A bit before I went out my house - I called the dragon tattoo girl. She told me to do so if I need it and I know that all is fine between us. She said she won't come, her toe is still isn't well after she fell few days ago. Oh no, I knew she fell and got her toe get wound... I thought it was horrible from me to try now to get a ride with her. She said I should call Ilan. I told her I rather do it cause of time we're friends, but Ilan doesn't have a car... I was running to the studio. On the way I called Ilan to tell him what happened. He tried to make me relax - he said I wasn't suppose to remember the toe thing. Soon we'll meet at the studio.

I came. Vlada and Kirill were sitting there again outside talking. I wondered if the door is new. I looked different and it was too easy to open it. Ilan wasn't there yet. I changed and went down. I was sitting in a place I could look at the class before and see who's coming into the studio. Two or three girls came, I didn't see Ilan. Idit used the water brake to say "hello". I started to talk with her about the upcoming workshop. I thought I heard Ilan's voice from the balcony. I came up. He was there - almost ready for class. I touched him. Not even "hello" - he asked me "where have you been?". I told him, by the way I asked him why didn't he say hello when he came in. 

The other class took over time again. The other girls went down. Ilan and me were sitting over the edge of stairs. While he made a practice of sport there we had the weirdest conversation. The class there finally over. We got up and ran down. It was his turn to talk with Idit. I was talking with a girl that looked familiar. After a short time I was glad I made the try. She's a professional dancer who took sinning classes at the same teacher I take now. I sent "hi" 

Our class has started. Hugo said we'll start this time with the castanets. Ilan was still talking. I came running to him. I touched his arm and showed him my castanets. He lest conversation for the class. It started with a lot of practice on the castanets at Clasico Español drills. Most was old drills, but we had two new ones as well. Once he came and stopped next to me. It didn't take long till he said it's fine, but.... When he got back to stand in the front of us he said that normal thing is playing mostly with the right hand, but if we're used to do it at the opposite - we'll do it opposite. Hey, Iv'e been told by two different teachers to do it opposite cause my dominant hand is left. Does he say it's wrong? Once with a new one he told us how to keep our balance. We needed to stop at the problematic standing for he will check us. Some girls he fixed. I was on the edge. He almost went without fixing me at all, but at the last moment he moved my right hand in a little difference of place. Any how - the working with castanets comes back to me more and more each class and become easier. 

Dancing. Some new steps to the Clasico Español. And dancing all again and again. This class went overtime as well. Two girls went away few minutes before it was really over. 

Between classes I ran up. putting back my castanets at their place, use the loo...

The men's c;ass has started. I missed the first moment. We started 5 - Ilan, one of the men of Mijal's company (NOT the one who shout but this who started really talk with me), the man who I don't know, a girl who takes these classes anyway and me. Hands' warming in a way I didn't have for a long time. When we moved to legs' warming - the nice one and the friend of the happy one came back to dance. It took me a little while to warm up with it. We started again with easy stuff which confused me. Moved to some drills we had so far and many new ones. One of things was something we had before and I think is beautiful enough to take a part in a dance. Although at the other classes with Hugo I made it perfect - this time I made once or twice mistakes. 

We started some new steps to the martinete. A lot of work. I was already really tired and felt my muscles at the legs pull up till almost an explosion. It went away over time at this point. The man from Mijal's company went away for he won't miss the bus. 

We danced the martinete over and over again. Hugo said we can take videos of a new legs' part. All brout their phones, all accept me. I told Hugo that at the very end I would love to have videos of all. He said it would be fine. She showed the new legs' part for making videos. Water brake next to the hour 23:00. The unknown man said that he would send a video he took at class. Most of us gave him. Hugo said well dance once again and go home. We were still around e-mail addresses. When Hugo noticed it he said that it's all for tonight, we'll go on next week. 

After class - some more talking. All together some crazy conversations. I said I wanna sleep, Ilan said that he as well but rather have a spa before. He and few others didn't stop crying because their legs were on pain from the hard work. After a while - fine, I'm going away. I have a dog to take for a walk
