Hey Bruce Page Two

Styling:- There are some special hand / movements in Section A. Counts 4-5-6-7-8 and in section B, counts 1-2. 
On coming out of the 1/2 pivot [count 3] in section A the man will take his right hand and comb his fingers through 
his hair on the right side for count 4. As the right hand does the combing the left arm/hand will rise up straight in 
front of you [perpendicular to the floor, palm down] flexing the fingers as the music reaches the end of Count 4. 
To prepare for the combing start to bring the hand up on count 3 ready to comb on count 4. The man will then 
drop his hands for count 5 switching sides to comb hair with left and rising and flexing right on count6, 
repeat for count 7, 8 and for counts 1-2 of section B. The Lady will use her right hand with closed fingers to run 
the palm over her head [not to mess her hairdo] on count 4 [remember to prepare on count 3]. As the right 
hand/palm goes over the head the left arm/ hand will rise up straight in front of you [perpendicular to the floor palm down] 
flexing the fingers as you reach the end of count 4. Remember these are optional. You have 7 counts to play with, 
so please do what feels good to you Maybe you might just snap the fingers ! ! ! ! ! !

The Following Text shed some light on the Hustle rhythm, how the idea for the dance came about and a Variation 
that was part of the dance at one point.

Counting: As a beginner Hustle student I was immediately taken by the rhythm and jumped at the chance to create a 
dance with the hustle steps in mind. The couples Hustle count is &1-2-3, repeat, repeat, etc. To keep the feeling of the
 Hustle rhythm you leave the ‘&’ count in front of the whole counts. Thus, you must emphasize the & count differently 
than the & count in the Triple step. It will come first which will be the quick part to be emphasised [ bold print on step 
description]. A suggestion for cuing the dance; If you like you can cue the Hustle (&1-2-3) as quick (&), quick (1), slow (2), 
slow (3) [not the real Two Step count but just using the words to move the feet on each count helps with cuing and tempo]
 P.S. The coaster steps and shuffle steps in section B are true Coaster & Shuffle steps not to be applied to the above theory

Choreographers Note:- This Line Dance came about through a friendly challenge as an informal contest by Robert Royston 
in one of his Hustle Classes at the Cowboy Country Club, Pleasanton CA. The Challenge was to anybody in the class to create 
a Hustle Line Dance. Lori Wong was in the Class and accepted the challenge. Could I not ? The Answer is "Hey Bruce" 
The steps in this dance incorporates both the man’s left foot lead and the woman’s right foot lead for the Hustle step. 
Have some "Hustle " with your line dance, and havesome fun too

Variation;- Here is a variation step for the adventurous – section B, counts 7&8 and section C, counts 1-2. 
On the difficult side, but you might have fun playing with this step. It comes after the 1/2 pivot in section B.
Section B. 7-8 weight R Step Lt Fwd, step ball of Rt Fwd into full turn Lt [left foot off floor]
Section C. 1-2 weight R Kick Lt Fwd extending foot for the full count, Step Lt Fwd
Note; At Start of turn lift left leg into bent Knee with foot next to right knee. 
On coming out of turn kick left foot out in front straight leg now] while you reach for the floor with your step 
forward on count 2
