🪩 HUSTLE AS A SOCIAL DANCE 🪩

We’re excited to welcome Tran to The Beacon for a special 4-week Hustle series + social!

Over four weeks, we’ll dig into Hustle as a social dance, building the tools, connection, and confidence to actually use what you learn on the dance floor. We will close out the series with a Hustle Social on November 2nd to put it all into practice. ✨

⏰ 8:15–9:15 PM

ABOUT THE SERIES:
Each week will dive into an aspect of social dance, how it ties into hustle, and how this can change based on who you dance with. We will focus on the intersection of connection, communication, play and safety with your partner. 

Classes are open to both Seattle beginner and intermediate hustle dancers but you should be familiar with hustle counts and footwork (cross-body, send-out, 1 ½ turns). These moves will be reviewed in the first two weeks. 

Come to the full series to build on each week or drop-in to a class to build on your existing understanding of hustle. You do not need a partner to join :)
