Dances - Hustle

Most Disco dances have strong roots in Swing and Latin, and The Hustle is no different. Disco itself is believed to have originated in New York in 1970, and it very quickly went through many different incarnations - there were line dances for groups of people, solo movements and partnership dances.

It was these partner dances that later became known as Hustle, and there were loads of them including Latin, Spanish and Swing Hustle, and by far the most famous New York Hustle.

The addition of free spins for both dancers gave rise to The Hustle dazzle, which still retains its mesmerizing look in today's Hustle dance world.

Twirls are a must, and there should be a lot of moving in and out of each others' arms - it is a fast, smooth dance, with the lady spinning almost constantly.
