What Is the Hustle?
A partner version of disco dancing, this dance style is a great one to master whether you want to expand your social dancing repertoire or just keep fit and active dancing in your kitchen. The Hustle is also a great dance to have in your back pocket during wedding season as it leaves lots of room for personalization!
A “touch dance” danced with a partner, the Hustle originated at discos in the early 1970s. It had a very basic form at the time, including inside and outside single turns. As it spread across global dance floors the Hustle evolved, incorporating intricate turn patterns and hand changes, borrowing traveling movements and pivots from smooth ballroom, and taking inspiration from swing and Latin rhythm dances.
Borrowing from a range of global influences, Hustle has its roots in dance styles you might already know, like the Cha-Cha, Foxtrot, Swing and Tango. Innovations from disco dance floors over the decades have made this a fun, vibrant, enduringly-popular dance style. The Hustle has 4-count and 3-count variations, but however you dance it, it’s undeniably fun!
