Why Tampa Dancers Love Hustle
A smooth, spinning and disco-cool dance that fits disco, funk and modern pop.
Hustle exploded in the 1970s disco scene and never went away. It's still one of the most useful social dances because so many songs have that four-on-the-floor beat.
It's smooth and continuous, with lots of spins for the follower and clear, fun leads for the leader.
Tampa loves a good groove, from Latin-disco nights in Ybor City to wedding receptions on the Bay, and hustle is the perfect way to dance to disco, soul and modern dance hits.
