In case you wonder
So, I did have class last night. I came tired as usual (or maybe a bit more than usual)and came back home in a weird mood. At home an e-mail was waiting.Even two for telling that tonight again won't be a class and it will be at Thursday. I had some time to do other things today. And today, found other things to show here, now it made a bit mess (the site didn't let me publish a post with Niño Josele, at the end it has been publised twice - once as I wished to before La Tremendita as I wanted and once after. I wanted to delete the second time, but the first one was the post which has been deleted). Not first things that goes wrong to me today, other things has no connection to here.
So, as far as you wonder why don't write yet about last night... I still have some time and I rather do it after I will get relax a bit and try to take a little siesta

Workshop of Adi Akiva - second day
When I came today - Adi sat out of the building with someone I used to know from the studio of Neta. In the first class she didn't even notice me, this time she started talking with me after a moment. Three of us got into the building and into the studio together. In the studio itself the girl I know through Neta asked Adi about performing in the tablaos of Madrid, where did she perform and where and and why. I know it's rude, but I while Adi still was talking about she have enough places in Sevilla - I asked her if it's true that she was performing in Niño de la Alfalfa recently. She said yes. I asked her about La India. She asked me back how do I know her. Well, the girl from the studio of Neta didn't know La India at all (her lost) and Adi said that she get know know her a bit, but she hear about her all the time from a friend of hers. By the way she said that even they hardly know each other - La India made her a favour and sent students from Latin America to learn from her when Adi was there. La India didn't have to, but she did. It amazed Adi and made her be more sure that La India is really nice.
One more girl came. Adi said that this time will be less than the other time. The weirdo who thought she can do all said that she won't go on, one of the Facebook girls I know said that she can't today and she came in another evening once instead, some goes in the other evening and came once on Monday....
After changing clothes and shoes - shall we start? It was a little problem cause it was already late of few minutes, but not all came - even those who meant to come. We did start. Adi asked what do we want to hear. She offered us to hear Josele Niño. The girl from the studio said that she knows the name but she doesn't know who he is. Wasn't he the guitar player who was with Juan de Juan in Días de Flamenco? I remembered the name from there, the girl from the studio said that it tells from where does she knows the name, Adi said that it's a singer. She let us hear what she meant. While Pulling legs and arms there was a talk of how was this show. Looks like we all agreed that Juan de Juan is a great dancer - with or without this show. Two more came.
Water. And change in the music. Adi let us hear some music which fit for a practice. Legs' warming. This time missed a bit few times. Adi started to move between us to see how we do it and correct. Some of the time she looked on our legs from really close. One of the times she stopped next to me - I felt I'm not doing it well. She still didn't correct me.
Water brake. I came with many missing sleeping hours. In this point I wasn't sure if I'm about to brake down. I'm glad I was there, made this practice and didn't give up, but I felt like the only thing I wanna do is go to bed and sleep.
We moved to make circles. For a start: basic in the place. My balance never was too good (I'm working on it in classes), and with the wish to sleep.... The hardest part was to keep on balance. And circles all around. I was the last one. The others probably got better. Me - first try I heard it was great. Second time - the one who had the turn before me changed her turn with another. Second time we had to move our hands - down and to the sides. I'm not used to it, I was tired, and the one before me was slow. It was too much for me and near the end of this turn I started to lose control on my body and where do I take it. I almost got into the one who was before me. Adi said that I lost the focus...... Few more tries. The one who was before me gave up and sat down because of dizzy. I got better. And working on other circles which used a lot in flamenco and I never learned it before this workshop. Adi said that it's rare to find someone to teach it although it isn't rare at all to see it in flamenco dancing. I believe it true. After all the years I learn and all the shows I saw - it sounds logic.
And dancing the siguiryia. None of us really remembered accept Adi. We made many times to remember and practice. One circle in the siguiryia had been made once by me for one place while the others made it the opposite. I thought I'm too tired and made a mistake, but when we made it again - they all made it as I did. And some new steps. Many of them. While the practice on it - we received some extra time, even more than the late. Adi has been asked to let us dance it over and over again. In the end Adi offered us to take our mobile phones to take a video. One of the girls did it. I asked doing it next week with all the siguiryia. Another one said it will be better doing it next week in the end. I still took a video. Once again and the class was over for tonight

The main show, Días de flamenco 2013
Well, I take too much time to write about it.
Came there less people that I know and came some that it was clear they came to see David Broza. Couple who came for David Broza sat next to me. I think it was the first time they saw a man who dance flamenco. This and the way they looks like... No other reasons for the way they reacted when Juan de Juan was on stage.
It started with Juan de Juan. who danced alone with no music. There was a little light on the stage itself. It was a short part and amazing. With his talent and this light it had an affect of mystery. I could enjoy it more if the couple next to me could shut up. It was with no respect of them - I was afraid that Juan de Juan hear them, and the fact that I heard them for sure....
After that - Niño Josele and Piraña got to stage. They made two parts. It had a great sound. Still, near the end of this part I found out that behind me there are more people who came for David Broza. They came with a child. I heard the child ask loud where is David. They told her to keep on silence. At least she listened to this.
Juan de Juan got back to stage. He made another part, this time with the music of Niño Josele and El Piraña. One more great part. I started to wonder why didn't the workshop in the morning didn't look this way.
Juan de Juan took off stage. David Broza came to the stage. Some others were really happy. I don't have anything against him, but I never was crazy for him. And this is before reminding that although his music has influence from Spain - he never made flamenco before. He play a guitar and sings. For a start - he only played his guitar. A full instruments part. I was surprised that he could fit himself in this part to the pure flamenco of Niño Josele and El Piraña.
After that - David Broza forgot he isn't in an ordinary show of his. He the audience who are the musicians (yeah, it was for those who came for him - unlike for those who normally come to this place to see flamenco). He had to say the Niño Josele is on the guitar and Piraña is on the percussion. He also said "Juan de Juan". In this part he didn't say what does he do. Juan de Juan came back to stage with calling his name. He sat in a chair that was there near David Broza. He started dancing. One more amazing part of him. After a while - David Broza was talking in a musical way in the back. It a bit remind me horror movies, but that was pretty cool.
Next part was a too long [art of making songs of David Broza in a flamenco way. The first song was one that I hate. It was still in Hebrew although the flamenco music. And a song which I do love came after that, still in Hebrew. Juan de Juan came back to stage, danced a bit, David Broza started to sing in a weird accent, and when Juan de Juan made the salida - David Broza started to sing in Arabic. It was an interesting twist. Still, this song and this part of dancing was too short. The songs of David Broza with no dancing. Next song was in a version made in Spanish. Although it's his song - I already heard before a flamenco version in Spanish made by another. And few more songs and back to Hebrew. And again he made a try to say something between the songs and nothing came out of it. This part was hard and long for me.
When those songs were finally over - David Broza took off his guitar and let it on his chair. He stood in the middle of stage. Someone near me asked id now he's about to dance. I don't know if it was a real thing or that the question has been asked THAT loud. David Broza made few steps. It only showed that he shouldn't fight with Juan de Juan about who's the real dancer there. His steps were hardly in a beginners' level. Ok, after this joke - he started to sing in a-cappella style. It was a nice song of him which did sound good this way. Juan de Juan got back to stage and danced near David Broza. He's killing me! It was so beautiful. Some of the time David Broza sang in this part and some of the time he just stood there and looked. Niño Josele ans El Piraña Joined them after a while. There was a new part to the sing itself. The whole thing was great, but could be better. The problem was that for a person who learn flamenco and saw a lot of flamenco outside classes too - I could notice how much David Broza isn't used to sing for dancers. It was too clear he is a singer, but not a flamenco style. Few times he missed and started sinning when Juan de Juan didn't finish the parts that called the singer to start sinning. And there was a part that Juan de Juan took David Broza in a way it was clear that it's for a salida of both of them. I mean - for me it was clear. The guy who sat next to me thought it's funny cause it's first time he see flamenco dancer (and I'm not sure how much brain this guy has in his head).
So, that's it. Juan de Juan danced a bit more as fin la fiesta. None of the others made a try.
In the bottom line: Juan de Juan is a wonderful dancer and I love seeing him on stage. El Piaña and Niño Josele made a great job as well, although I didn't give them enough attention. It was mostly because in the parts with Juan de Juan - that was the main thing in my eyes and he was THAT amazing in each moment on stage. About David Broza... I could give up on most of the things he did there. I did give him attention because of the mess it made here with the community of flamenco lovers

One more week at Suzanne
Next Thursday at Suzanne Dellal, Tel Aviv will start Días de Flamenco 2013. 3 days of pure flamenco. Well, almost pure. In the main show this year it will include 3 pure flamencos from Spain - Juan de Juan, Niño Josele and El Piraña. With them on the same stage in the same show will take a part the guitar player/singer David Broza. He makes a lot of music in a Spanish style, but he never was a flamenco artist. I hope that the pure flamencos will drag it to a real pure thing.
And of course - as every year it will include a workshop at Friday morning. I know it's full booked now, but I'm glad to say that I'm one of those who filled the book. As far as Juan de Juan is the dancer who comes this year from Spain - he will give the workshop.
As it's always - Saturday morning will be full in flamenco made in Israel. Once in two year - there is also a contest. This year will be contest. The last part will be in the gala - last evening, last time of the main show in the festival will include the last ones who can make it and get the first place (and some learning through Adi Foundation who makes this party every year).
Next Friday I would spend some hours at Suzanne Dellal (I will see the main show at Friday evening). A bit afraid, but I do aware that I must go there. I'm a bit afraid cause I never learned from him and I still don't know if it's for me, and the fact the main show includes an Israeli man that I can only hope that will make it flamenco. Still I'm sure I'l be angry for myself if I won't go. As I saw videos - Juan de Juan have a great chance to get into my getting longer list of flamencos that I REALLY love, so I can't miss him if he comes. And this festival is a thing that I found myself wait for every year, and enjoy it every year - no matter who comes. Now - second time since I started to write La Reina De La Luna + that I could write about this festival in real time and not a years after it happened.

Maybe it's......
I wasn't sure if I get it right. I usually don't have a problem to understand things, but.... This time it was a very weird and confused thing to say, and it was possible to understand two different things from that. About Juan de Juan in Días de Flamenco. The message was about "sold out". Well, someone asked in public about a ticket to the show. As the answer she received was about possible to day and hour - it will be in different 3 nights. So, Maybe it's still possible to get tickets to the show of Juan de Juan/Niño Josele/El Piraña/David Broza. I guess now that the "sold out" was for the workshop of Juan de Juan

About Dias de Flamenco
There was something a bit confused about it.... I know that the workshops in Días de Flamenco filled very fast. Last year I hardly got my place in the last moment and I know that some found out that there is no more place for them. This year I was probably the first one who got a place (or at least - one of the first ones). I still not sure if it's a good idea this year, but I can't help myself from running to it.
And now.... The way it has been told...... Almost there - I made a mistake because of the short month which end today. It won't be in 3 more weeks, it will be two more weeks. Eva Agmon (the manager of this party) that it has been sold out. I think she meant to the show cause she said also about El Piraña, Niño Josele and David Broza who won't give the workshop. Only the dancers gives it every year, and this year it will be Juan de Juan
