Does the word “Hustle” conjure images of Travolta line dancing in his bell bottom pants and famous disco pose? Well that image couldn’t be further from the Hustle we dance today! While it does have its roots in New York City’s mid 70’s, it is now a contemporary dance, always evolving and maintaining its popularity. Hustle is not a form of swing dancing; rather its roots are in the hot Latin dances, incorporated with elements of several other dance styles.

Hustle is a partner dance that is oriented to a slot. The slot can rotate, change, and travel in a fluid fashion.  Elements of sophisticated body positioning and arm styling derived from ballroom and ballet enable Hustle dancers to be expressive and graceful. Hustle also incorporates bold, funky, and flirtatious footwork and syncopations.

 

Chad teaches the latest in Hustle techniques, patterns and styling for all levels of Hustle. All levels welcome. No partner necessary.  Academy of Ballroom Dance  832 E. Indian School Rd  .  Phoenix, Arizona  .  (602) 285-1569 


"As a movement instructor for over 20 years, I recognize and greatly value Chad’s ability to customize the level of detail of his instruction to the current interest and skill level of his audience. Whether he’s working with brand new dancers or those with many years of experience, his instruction is focused, people-centered, and always, always, ALWAYS fun and rewarding."

Thank you so much, Chad, for making our wedding dance special.
Everyone was blown away! Nobody knew we could dance!
Our favorite quote was from my little niece who looked at the bride
and said, “Grandma is that Cinderella?”
Our family will be talking about it for years to come.
