3-COUNT LATIN HUSTLE
SWEETHEART--SWEETHEART SQUARE.......
This is a lovely intermediate-level hustle move that travels as well as moves in place.......
Setting up for the sweetheart-----
Start in Semi-Open
1. Cross-body lead throwout (and 1 2 3)
(Change hands from L-R to R-R (handshake) hold after throwout)
2. Lead her to R sweetheart (and 1 2 3)
(after this, lead her R foot to step back with a bit of a twist to R)
3. Pass that lady from R side to L side of you (from R sweetheart to L sweetheart position) with your lead to do a sort
of twist action on her (and 1 2 3)
4. Now, with the lady on you L (in that L sweetheart position), wind up lady with a "rock-back" on the "and 1" and
lead her into a 3-count traveling spin so that she will go to your R (and 1 2 3)
(Make sure that you catch the lady after the "3" to go back to R-R hold again to go back to the original R sweetheart
position)
5. Pass that lady from R side to L side of you (from R sweetheart to L sweetheart position) with your lead to do a sort
of twist action on her (and 1 2 3)
6. Now, with the lady on your L (in that L sweetheart position), wind up lady with a "rock-back" on the "and 1" and
lead her into a 3-count traveling spin so that she will go to your R (and 1 2 3)
(Make sure that you catch the lady after the "3" to go back to R-R hold again to go back to the original R sweetheart
position)
