	Dive into 4-Ct Hustle Still making those rails earn their keep Hustle Deep Dive Workshop Monday, August 18, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm 4-Count Hustle has long been a beginner's favorite. But it gets real advanced, real fast. We will be diving into what makes 4-Count Hustle so smooth and how good technique makes it all flow. We'll be paying special attention to moves that require the leads to bounce back and forth between rails, while the followers gracefully glide from end to end of the slot. Participants will learn and practice several moves, learn to use good Hustle technique in all of them, and get a short routine that can be used over and over again while social dancing. Location: Sapphire Studio Price: $21/person in-studio for one hour and a half workshop $32/person in-studio for both hour and a half workshops.     Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.     Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can. Prerequisite: Participants should be comfortable dancing 4-count Hustle in a closed and open frame and have a solid foundation in slot-based movement. Read more about Hustle.
