Tangos and siguiryias

Just came stressed but on time to change normally. Three on the bata class. The fat woman is pathetic and too easy to see that she needs to look on the snobbish and her daughter for every move. Just in case she do it of course (and even then it's with a late). Neta won't say a thing to her. Andreu was there and told her something at the side NOT to do. The Russian girl moved next to me and did a drama like she doesn't see me at the studio, she needed to say hello at the loo. My friend came at the last moment. 

I asked Neta about next two weeks because an e-mail she sent. Ahe will be at Italy and at the upcoming two weeks she won't be able to teach us. She promised to give us two classes instead after she will be back. 

At the improvisation part we learned a new remate for the tango. After a long practice we've been asked to do it in turns. When it was my turn she said something was wrong (couldn't understand what did she say was the problem). One more try. Instead of sinning she started to count. That was confusing and I needed a third try. At the third try I made it. The bata girl has been asked to do it with a circle. She made it well. The snobbish woman made it as well without anyone asked her to make the circle. Second round. This time all of us needed to make circles around ourselves while starting it. This time I needed one try for Neta whould mumble something it was well. My friend had her turn before me and it was difficult for her. When I made it - she cheered me up and smiled. With time I find out it become more important to me to hear some cheers from my friend than cheers from Neta. After this round I asked Neta to take a video of this remate. Neta didn't accept cause she do it all the time on stage. 

We got few minutes to think. Neta said it's time we'll repeat the same thing we wish to do at end of year. I guess the meaning is like last year - we'll have something we do well and feel well with it, but in case something will happen on stage - we will be able to change a thing or two without mistakes and without fear. I already know how do I want my tango to look like if nothing happen at the last moment.  

We had one turn to make our tangos. When it was my turn I felt focused in the guitar, sinning and palmas in a way I'm not used to be focused in anything. It felt natural for a change just to listen and get connected. And as far as I knew what do I want to do - it was easy. Only once I didn't feel like there was a connection and I missed something. I'm not sure if it was possible to see the shock I felt for the moment. I went on like nothing happened. I have a thing to the salida which I know it usually goes on buleria but goes well also on tangos. I started with it without Neta will teach it. Suddenly all girls do it. This time I felt my feet too heavy for doing it. I just made a turn, looked at Andrue as I always do when he's there and I'm about to made my salida. When I finished I was ready for a moment that my head will be thrown away from my shoulders, but... Neta said "S.O.S" just for telling me it was fine. I looked at my friend. She smiled again. She said something, I couldn't hear the words but it was enough to see her face and to hear the way she say it for I could understand she try to cheer me up again. The bata girl made a try. She dance so beautiful but she doesn't have any self confidence and it disturb the way her dance looks like. When she finished my friend said that she dance so beautiful but too much to herself. The only smile she had was at the end like "It's over! That's it! End of dance!". 

When all of us made our turns Neta said that today there was something in the air and all of us danced very well.  Fine, let's move to the siguiryia. My friend said it's too short and till she get warm it's over. The bata girl and the Russian girl went away. Accept the assistant and her friend - all of us took our castanets.

We danced the siguiryia from the start once, after that working on the difficult parts. Dancing all again. We learned some new steps which Neta said that next thing will be to play on the castanets while dancing it. A moment before we started all again I asked Neta to take a video. This time she said that I'm right. We won't have it for two weeks. I took a video. It has a circle in the place which Neta didn't do while I took the video. And dancing all over from the start to the end of new steps.

When class was over my friend asked me if noticed her jaleo. She said that only a death person won't hear it cause she was screaming. She said I was very correct at my tango. I didn't notice and no, I don't have hearing problems. I just needed to concentrate the music....
