Adult Dance Classes | Beginning Hustle

The Hustle is the partner version of disco dancing. It is a fast moving, energetic dance characterized by its many turns. The lady spins almost constantly while her partner draws her close and sends her away.
It is a fusion of swing and disco, a return to partner dancing, a modified lindy hop and jitterbug, still very popular in crowded dance floors in New York. Music played for the Hustle is modern, based upon rhythm and blues.
