HUSTLE is a child of the 70’s disco era from NYC. Named after its fast-paced stepping style, Hustle is a social dance form that emerged from pre-existing Latin and African-American dances. It’s a part of the American cultural legacy and continues to capture the interest of people across the globe and generations. A groundbreaking movement genre that brought together queer and straight communities through touch and rhythm whereby the roles of leader and follower are not gender specific. Hustle can be perceived as a joint celebratory outburst of energy, where yourself and a partner in crime — or two — hold hands to embark on an ever-present, expansive, twirling journey across a fierce dance floor to the sound of disco.
