Day2 in class..Of course repition from first day, then ocho cortados.. and ochos with pivot... think my Nora is very skilled.. It seams
like the girl Im dancing with doesnt understand english (so they said, I still think its a trick), only
so I cant manipulate her by saying what I will do next as a move.. When we dance
she is dancing with eyes closed and sometimes she is saying
something to Nora in spanish... Today that happened, I asked Nora what the
girl said?
Nora - "she is saying that she cant
feel your chest.. you are leading her with your belly"Me - "and if I had a really big belly then she would only feel that anyway or?" (must challenge their logic!)
Nora - "if you had a belly, then you would be old, if you were old, then you have confidence, confidence good!... but you Robert, you are still young (bless her!), no belly, no confidence.. so you dont have any choice then to learn how to lead her with your chest..." .... I suppose there was a compliment somewhere along that comment..
And then Pivot training.. meaning dancing with a 120cm stick in your arms.. so first you feel a bit punished, like your not good enough to dance with a human being, but then you understand, its so easy to grasp how you are moving your chest with that stick in your arms.. or not moving in my case... After that pivot training , warm up for the ochos.. meaning myself doing front and backward ochos along the floor, while two women is looking at me from a sofa and chatting inbetween them in spanish.. I can say - You dont feel that macho in those kind of situations!.. but its good I suppose.. makes you humble.
Finished of with two dances, and I think, I think, I had a compliment somewhere in that moment... Nora twice said "good for you Robert"..at least I hope it was...
