Hooked On The Hustle


WOW! I never thought I'd get Hooked ON The Hustle. Gotta "stay alive" on this one 'cause it's a fun dance. Joshua and Stephanie continued the Swing Hustle at Hale Ikena last night and as usual everyone since day one showed up but some how the dance floor seemed like there were more people on it. But first! Lani and I took that long drive to Ft. Shafter for lesson numba four in the Hustle. Couldn't miss this lesson; not after Joshua and Stephanie taught the class those fancy syncopated steps last week. Got there just before the class started. Joshua started the class with isolation exercises to the beat of disco music. That's akamai since we needed to get our bodies flexible and relaxed for the steps ahead. A demo of all the steps we learned from day one to the present really helped jogged my mind as well as my feet. Repetition is a great teacher and Joshua made full use of it until he was satisfied that everyone was on the same page. What followed were welcomed moves. Never thought I'd be dancing a cross over break in the Hustle but it worked well with the lady spin out move to a dip. Walla! Most disco music go on for 5 minutes and that's how we spent the last 5 minutes; dancing all the moves that Joshua and Stephanie filled us with. It was fast and it was fun!
