I am a little bit young to remember. Is this dance or is it not actually the hustle??

Was it a line dance or a partner dance or were there variations of both?

1. The Hustle was a line dance by definition, yes.

I think.

Suck it, Boot Scoot Boogie.

2. I've found both kinds on Youtube. The first video is hysterical.

:rofl:

4. Nope. Not really

The Hustle is a two partner ballroom type dance. I've done it AND I've helped teach it. Its generally done to disco music and was popular in the 70's. The reason why you think it is a line dance is because there was a song called "The Hustle" about the dance itself that a line dance was choreographed too. But the partner dance is the original. Been very popular the last 10 years or so again.
Oh and Skippy..if I should ever happen to meet you in real life..I'd be happy to teach you..I can both lead and follow on this dance...:P

9. I didn't know that.

I only knew the one from the disco song.

I'm disturbed by your mad disco skillz. Disco is unnatural. Dancing to it is even more so. I'm scared.

10. hehe. Even better is my skillz with leading men through it...

My calling card trick is taking guys over a foot taller than me (I'm only 5 foot) and getting them to go UNDER my arms in whats called a "tunnel move"...Its freaking hilarious to watch people watch me do that....:rofl:

5. GPV...video number three is the classic ballroom dance

and its what most dancers think of when you say "Hustle". A GREAT dance...One of my favorites.
The stupid line dance...not so much.

6. I figured #3 was going to be the right one. It seemed the most like a proper dance, although

#4 wasn't bad.

Bummer my hubby hates dancing or I'd give it a go. Maybe in a few years my boys will want to learn to dance and I can try it then. :)

8. If you really want to take a class go for it..

I taught a lot of women who had non interested SO..Most dance classes rotate partners if you don't have one.
BTW, hustle is probably one of the best ways to exercise..You really feel it in your legs afterward..:)
edit:video 4 is also the proper Hustle..I didn't watch it my first time through
