A class with the singer

We had the first class with Shuky Shveiky. I was a bit nervous cause it meant a lot about the level of this class. For this session of class he comes once a month for we'll be able to dance live with a singer in a way it will be clear.

He talked a lot in the start and told us how he started and told us some new things about the palos of flamenco. Then he got to listen with us to the song we started to sing. He said it isn't a solea por buleria like we've been told - it's just a song. There was a new thinking about what will he do with us - a solea por buleria or buleria. He said he prefer a buleria because it will be more usefull - like for fin las fiestas. In fin la fiesta it's only could be tangos or bulerias. He will let us practice on fin la fiesta. We started to write words of another song. Shuky sang us this in some different versions of buleria.

And the dance part - he sang to us, we stood in a circle and danced together the steps we practiced last week. Shuky  Insisted it will be a circle for he will be able to see all of us good. Then the scary thing - stay in a circle, he sings and each one dance alone a version of her own for fin la fiesta. He said he won't show us what to do cause all of us move better than him. While we did it he made some stops for telling how does do it Los Farrucos. He was talking mostly about Farruquito and La Faraona. One of the sisters from Haifa decided to sitt in this part. The other one made a good part, but not before a funny thing she asked Shuky to start again. One of the girls started. It didn't take too long till Shuky stopped her and asked to say something. When she listened to him he asked her "Can I sing first?". She said she started because it has been asked who's next. Like it wasn't enough - she made some steps already which fit to a part that the singer sings...

I was near the end like I prefer in those sitiuations. After me left only two girls. Lucky me - I was the first who one that Shuky didn't have anything to say to her. Still in the last steps I had a little mistake. I finnished it before the sinning. Neta signed me to to correct it. 

The last one didn't dare to try. In the end she accepted to do it with Neta. Even then it was possible to see that she's nervous and it's hard for her.

In the last minutes Neta told about her first buleria in a show with the company of Mario Maya. Never mind I already know this story, but it's always nice to hear her bizzare stories about her expirience. It made Shuky to tell about the first time he met Farruquito. He was a begginer and told what a shame he made to himself because of he was affraid. Looks like Farruquito doesn't make only me confused...

And for the whole thing: I already know that Shuky got a great voice and a great tallent, now I know that he has also a great sense of humor. With all the information and practiced we got in this class - all were with a lot of laugh, mostly thanks to him
