Nov.14th/21st- THE HUSTLE with Yvon Soglo
Hustle, commonly called Latin Hustle, is a partner dance issued from the clubs of New York City in the 1970’s. From its inception, Latin Hustle evolved as a street dance, fusing elements of various latin dances (mambo, chacha, salsa) and drawing a strong influence from disco music and dances, creating a unique social dance. Through the 1980’s the dance continued changing, borrowing movements from other ballroom dances as it gained popularity in competitions and performance settings. To this day, the dance is continuously evolving and is one of the only social dances born and cultivated in the U.S. NO PARTNER REQUIRED-JUST BRING YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF!
