contemporary hustle whip

A pattern that Zach taught me.

The contemporary hustle whip is different from the regular hustle whip because you do not “open the newspaper” on the 1-and-2 or 5-and-6. If the follower is not ready, opening the newspaper can hurt the follower (that is what Amber told me). The contemporary hustle whip is also different because it does not require a parallel handhold at the start.

• It starts from an open position and all the footwork is the same as in a regular whip, but the handwork is different.
• Handwork 1 and 2 is the same as a whip for the left hand because it is j-hook, but the right hand is offered at waist level with the palm up on 1. On 2, your body and your right hand should be pointing at 3 o’clock.
• By 2, you should have the follower’s left hand on your right hand.
• On 5 move your right hand in front of your right hip.
• On 6 move your left hand so it is parallel with the right hand.
• Anchor on the 7&8.
• End in a parallel position.
