The Hustle
Hustle began in the 70's and is still growing strong today. It is danced to contemporary dance music with a strong beat. It is an open partner dance with turns and arm styling. This is an important dance to have in your repetoire. It is danced at ballroom parties, night clubs, west coast swing parties, hustle parties and wedding receptions.
The Progressive Series
The Progressive Series gives you an opportunity to learn a dance more in depth. Each week builds on the previous week. The progressive series will give you a good foundation. You will learn figures and the character, styling, rhythm and technique of the Hustle. You will also learn how to lead or follow, to connect with your partner, to combine figures and to navigate the social dance floor.
Drop Ins Welcome
You are always welcome to drop in during the month to any of our classes. If you have never danced before, we recommend that you come on the first of the month, when we cover each dance from the very beginning.
A Supportive Learning Environment
We create a safe and supportive environment for you to learn and have fun in. The pace is just right and you will be there with others who are also learning for the first time.
