„While I dance I can not judge, I can not hate, I can not separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. This is why I dance.“

Disco/Hustle Dance Lessons

  • International Hustle and Salsa Competition (IHSC 2013).

There is always a fascinating story, being told by a soul, behind every single dance. Music sets the genre of “the story” whereas each word is represented by a dance step, harmoniously combined into a remarkable dance combination. One of such dances expresses sentiments in motion, having obtained a crystal clear name as Hustle, all thanks to the precise atmosphere, created by this dance! Hustle is a dance for people who want to dance right here, right now, especially to one’s favourite tunes or the ones, appealing to dance! Sounds unbelievable but true. Thousands of worldwide admirers is the exact proof of that!

Hustle originally comes from America. Its popularity skyrocketed back then and it already was enjoyed in Europe. Nowadays this dance carries lots of different names, Disco Hustle, Disco Fox or Disco Swing, depending on the geographically spread location. All of them mean the dance with no strict dance pattern to follow but improvised leading of a male partner. Ladies completely entrust themselves and the dance to their partners, sometimes even the strangers. That’s when the key feature of HUSTLE comes along, how smooth and harmonious their dancing skills are, to dance that good to captivate all the attention as well as enjoying the rhythms of music to the full!

Hustle was also born under the influence of Disco music which all the newcomers are encouraged to start with. It provides with a quite readable clear count so that all the students can get used to the music accents straightaway. Meanwhile, all the “experienced” Hustle dancers prefer Latin-American and Blues tunes where they differentiate a fast (highly accented music rhythm) and a slow (playing up the melody) tempos. The main idea is to impress the audience. Surprisingly, in this very dance the slightest mistakes, while performing, are even possible as long as the spectators are charmed by the given variant of hustle.

Among all the other Social Dances, Hustle is the most adaptable and flexible one. It can be enjoyed to any musical style, from pop music to hard rock or chanson, to any mood or temperament. Unlike ballroom competitive dances, the basics of Hustle is pretty simplified, it only takes 10 - 15 dance classes to successfully master it so that smashingly hit the dance floor of any disco party. As a huge benefit it doesn’t require much space but tons of imagination to create a one-of-a-kind mind-blowing Hustle dance!

Hustle, as an isolated dance, soaked up the best of the best of dancing from numerous, absolutely different styles, resulting in a quite distinctive, rather simple and mostly beloved by many, dance. That is why for beginners Hustle is a perfect start in the tremendous “dancing’ world. A counting pattern of four and a pretty clear rhythm are usually quickly mastered by the amateurs. HUSTLE is literally an enchanting “walk” by the two, glammed up by spectacular movements of all kinds. Graceful arm movements, impressive body turns, unexpected tap steps and splendid hand spots add the personal touch to the regular dance pattern of four.

Hustle is an exceptionally energetic dance that has many varieties to enjoy such as Free style, Ladies style, Show-Hustle, Double Hustle and Jack-n-Jill. Additionally, such incredible elements as tangled arms as in Salsa, Closed type of movement as in Tango, sophisticated steps as in Rock-n-Roll, to name but a few. All together being danced in a Hustle give all the admirers the confidence to keep exploring the world of dancing further, either in a ballroom direction or towards the rest of social dances. Hustle is a sensational social couple dance, representing an extraordinary type of hobby, which ensures lots of new acquaintances, a delightful energy exchange and simply a fantastic pastime!
