NOV09VSNPRE3~SEPT. 25, 2009~9: PM EST - THE HUSTLE
Title: THE HUSTLE
Hostess: Carol (Gingerbeary)
Keyword: NOV09VSNPRE3
Date: Friday, September 25, 2009
Time: 9:00PM (EST)
The Hustle became popular when "Saturday Night Fever� hit the scene in 1977 with a mixture of Latin and Swing, said to have come from Florida with a Cuban mix of salsa. Who can forget John Travolta lighting up the dance floor and the two sound tracks released with both Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive by the Bee Gees.
The hustle dance steps are a rolling grapevine to the right for 4 counts, followed by a rolling grapevine to the left for 4 counts. Stop and stand in place and do the Travolta for 8 counts. (This is the classic John Travolta move with your left hand on your hip while the right moves from the upper right above the head to the lower left below the hip.) You can view the dance steps and listen to the music here.
So now that you know how to do the Hustle, the challenge will be to make a card with the following:
4 colors of your choice - Neutrals like white and black don't count - This is your rolling grapevine move to the right for 4 counts.
4 layers of your choice of card stock - for example you could do (a cardstock base with 3 designer papers), or (cardstock, 2 designer papers and ribbon). Use your imagination. You need four layers. � This is your rolling grapevine move to the left for 4 counts.
8 embellishments of your choice � your image can count as one plus any combination of brads, eyelets, rhinestones, flowers, leaves, die cuts, dry embossing, tags, frames, glitter, stickers, punches) I think you get the picture. Any combination that will add up to eight for the �John Travolta move will do!
Now go ahead and do the John Travolta move, you know your want to do it!!!
I can't wait to see what you come up with.
< Can you tell me another movie where John Travolta graced us with his dance moves-there were a few of them.....That guy can dance!!!>

We are back from the Greek Festival.... Actually we only spent 2 hours there. It was so not like the ones in New England. Anyway, we went to walmart and walked around while it poured down rain and now we are home. SO now I am here to check out VSN....

I wonder if John T. ever danced in the TV show "Welcome Back Kotter"! I think I remember watching him dance there very first, before any movies... Who knows? hehehehehe....That would make me really old... so maybe I can't remember....
I used to watch Welcome Back Kotter too! I don't remember if he danced on that show either??? Gotta go to YouTube to see if there is anything there...lol
Finished watching the new season premiers of Monk and Numbers, now I'm back to see what everyone's been doing. John T. was funny as Vinnie Barbarino in Welcome Back Kotter but I don't remember him dancing on there either. Now, I keep hearing "Stayin Alive" in my head!!! Disco returns-oh no!
