  • Get on the floor, let's dance! With roots in the Puerto Rican Bronx neighborhoods, The Hustle is the iconic dance of the 1970s. After the release of Saturday Night Fever in 1977, dancers across the country were hustling through discos, ballrooms, and living rooms.
    Dance instructor Cindy Miskowiec leads this tutorial. Grab a friend and get ready to move! Cindy has had a love for all forms of dance for over 35 years. She started taking tap, ballet, and jazz classes at the age of five and has been dancing ever since. She danced her way through college and has continued to study ballet as an adult. She has been taking classes and teaching at Terpsichorean Dance Studio since 2013.

    Who knew that when I searched for the hustle, I got a video made by my local library! Amazing!

    So informative/helpful (I learned "The Hustle" so quickly, due to this video), and the fact it's from a public library makes it that much better. I spent so much time in libraries (as a kid)...nothing compares to the smell of book!

      Actually It first originated in the early '70s in the South Bronx as a 'frequeria', or a dirty dance, popular among Puerto Rican teenagers. What she’s doing is the “Bus stop”

    Wow! I haven't looked at this video in years! Thank you for the kind comments, this was an impromptu video my local library asked me to do during COVID so people could learn the "Hustle" line dance. I am a dance instructor but not a professional dancer with a sound studio and professional backup dancers. This was in the beginning of COVID before we had more tools for online classes for better sound. I talked my sister and husband into doing this with me for support. This is the only video that I've put on You Tube and I can't believe some of the comments are so rude. We were just having fun and putting something out there for our local library...jeez! I'm glad some people can be nice and enjoyed themselves 😄

    Breaking it up into parts really does make it seem easier. So it must be once you get those basics down, you can adlib, like switching arms halfway into the Travolta, for example.

    People do not do this and say you are dancing the hustle!! She is very sweet but that’s a line dance you do at weddings and parties. The hustle is danced as a couple and is more like a ballroom style of dance. I’m from NY and danced the hustle at many clubs in the 1970’s. Have fun! 🎉
