Eyes for the solea

Every time that I think that I come to class tired more than the usual - here's a surprise and I come even more tired. That what happened last night. My eyes were burning on the way to the studio, burning at class and were burning after I got back home. I really should sleep a "little" more. 

So, not much time to prepare. The ordinary guitar player was there again. Between classes the man from Mijal's company who started to come those classes came after a while. He made a try to get some attention from the girls. Hard to say that he did get it. Then he said few times to the guitar player to play slowly cause he wasn't there for a while. The guitar player just smiled. 

Class has started. Mijal said that we'll start at the escobilla. The man got stressed. He asked Ayelet to be in the front of him. I was at a blackout myself. Too much stuff from too many places and my eyes are burning. We made a first try. Mijal stopped us. She it's boring this way. Although it's only a drill we need to dance. We must use our hands as well. Second try was better.

After drills - working on the last part of the solea. And some new confusing steps. On some we'll need to do while making circles around ourselves. Some made it, for me it was too confusing most of tries. And we get more steps. Then Mijal offered us to try at home to do some of steps while sitting. She said it's more difficult, if we'll make it well - all will look easier for us. Maybe we'll try something at the solea with sitting. One of the girls (I think it was the friend of the happy one, but I wasn't really focused) asked if we'll need to bring chairs with us to the studio. Mijal was pointing on chairs used for the tablaos at the studio. She said that there are chairs. It belongs to her, she brought it from home. 

We danced few times the solea. It was difficult for me mostly cause I still don't remember well the order of all steps, but it's getting better. And my eyes... I'm so tired! The good thing for me was that I could see that I wasn't the only one who came this time tired. 

And of course - few more new steps. 

After class I still thought to do the drill Mijal offered us to do. The problem is that because I wasn't too focused at class - I already forgot most of the new steps, mostly those which she offered us to try. I remember the best those which we need to make as a circle. Should I try some other steps?
