[@williewalker5051]

He's doing ok. It's just the basic step.

[@davidalen9279]

Basic 3 count syncopated hustle; there are, of course, MANY hustles...or were

[@davidldancer]

It’s Puerto Rican style hustle that you changed. Club style

[@cesarricaurte7956]

OUCH!!

[@ka12nd1260]

How old r u back n the day that was the dance There r no more dances to do anymore other than lines dances

[@richardduggan724]

Strange this one, so many great dances have come out of america and crossed the Atlantic with success, but the Hustle hhmm not doing it I'm afraid, just my opinion.

[@davidldancer]

The rhythm is backwards. It should be , 1, coaster step 2and3, Cuban motion

[@davidrosinski6825]

You are correct about the 1 coaster step. timing I dont know where this timing in the video came from.

[@davidrosinski6825]

Wrong timing it should be step coaster step

[@cesarricaurte7956]

QUESTION: When was the LAST TIME that you actually WENT to a REAL HUSTLE DANCE and stayed for more than 1 hour?? You do a big disservice to the Hustle dance community by trying to pass this off as Hustle. Take serious Hustle dance lessons, go to a Hustle dance club and dance twice a week for 3 YEARS. ...Then maybe you can teach. Stick to ballroom and latin until then....PLEASE. I myself DJ, teach and dance Hustle. Going on 44 years. I don't teach what I don't know. Hint....Hustle starts with a ''cross body lead'' NOT a two hand hold. Do you even use music when you teach?

[@jaxonh.6330]

Calm down, this is basic American syllabus. It's not Cuban style hustle, it's not meant to be advanced

[@cesarricaurte7956]

American style? Cuban style? Sure, maybe if you are a Ballroom/Latin dancer.... Ballroom and Latin dancing is beautiful and wonderful to watch and learn and is a TRUE art form. Obviously ALL dancing is beautiful when it is done and taught correctly.... Sadly, this couple DOES NOT even know what the correct BASIC upper body connection IS for Hustle...much less advanced. If this couple would only take REAL Dance lessons, they would look SO MUCH BETTER....besides, AUTHENTIC HUSTLE originated in New York and has been alive and well for over 4 Decades. You would think after all this time of Hustle being in existence that this couple could find a decent Hustle teacher or Dance Studio and invest some time and money to learn how to Hustle Dance correctly and enhance their syllabus. I know A LOT of Ballroom/Latin teachers who at least really know HOW to teach BASIC Hustle correctly to their students.... ALSO, I'm NOT CALM when someone ''teaches'' incorrect dance concepts of Hustle...Rather, I tend to SPEAK UP with AUTHORITY so that other potential Hustle dancers and students won't be confused about WHAT Hustle dancing really is. It would be fine if these teachers would stick to Ballroom and Latin dance instruction because that style is what they seem to know better. I DO NOT teach Ballroom or Latin dancing ...that's why you won't see ME make a video of that type of dance BECAUSE I'm not qualified. I myself have been Teaching, Dancing, Competing and DJing Hustle for over 40+ years since 1974. I even Coach and Consult other Ballroom/Latin dance teachers on CORRECT Hustle technique because THOSE Ballroom/Latin teachers at least have the INTEGRITY to teach AUTHENTIC Hustle Dancing to their students who PAY A LOT OF MONEY for their dance instruction and rely on their Dance Teacher for HONEST Dance Instruction. At least let's BE FAIR and HONEST about teaching authentic dancing in any form to the student who really wants to learn. We all have a perception of what dancing is supposed to be and look like based on our individual experiences. My perception of Hustle is based upon 40+ years of experience in clubs and studios. If you are serious about what Hustle really looks like...look up Maria Torres...Eddie Vega...Ricky Quintana...Lisa Nunziella...Kenny Gonzales...and any of the IHSC competitions....all on youtube.
