Hustle

Like most Disco dances, The Hustle has roots in Swing, Samba, Cha Cha, in Mambo, Meringue, the Tango, and even the Fox Trot. Generally believed to have originated in New York in 1970, it went through many variations:  line dances for groups, solo movements and styles that came and went, and several partner dances. These include the Basic Hustle, Latin, Spanish and Tango Hustles, the popular Street, and the Three-Count. Swing Hustle was created by Venice and Malibu California street skaters.

In "Saturday Night Fever" John Travolta popularized the dance, reaching national and worldwide audiences.

Hustle is danced to '70's and 80's pop dance music. A fast, smooth dance, the lady is almost constantly spinning while her partner draws her close then sends her away.
