How many hustle dances are there

For the next two moves, you're going to continue that back-and-forth weight shift, letting the roll in your hips turn your body about 45 degrees to the right and left. First you will "roll," which means your forearms are held parallel to the floor, elbows bent, and rotated around each other as if you were rolling up a really long paper towel. This rolling motion goes for two beats as your weight shifts to the right and to the left.

The "chicken" is actually a chest isolation, with your arms moving down to your sides as you push out your sternum. This can be as subtle or as strong as you'd like it to be, as long as it's on the beat. Like the roll, you'll do this for two beats, once to each side. At this point you've completed the basic steps, everyone is facing the same direction, and you're ready to start all over again! The dance simply repeats until whatever song is playing finishes, and it gives people a lot of chances to fool around with their own moves and flirt outrageously with each other.

Now that you have step-by-step instructions for this version of the Hustle, it's time to put on some music and try it out. You can take it slow at first, and then try speeding up by following one of the many videos about the Hustle on YouTube. Another way to learn it is just to go out to a club where the Hustle is played and follow along with the rest of the dancers.

While you may mess up at first, it's an easy dance to figure out as you go along and rejoin when you recover your footing. Just remember that the whole point of the Hustle is to have fun with the dance steps and enjoy the simple pleasure of moving together on the dance floor. Basic Hustle Dance Steps The first thing to know about this version is that it is a repeating dance done by solo dancers.

Forward and Back Start standing with your feet together, hands at your sides. Three-Step Turn and Clap Now you're going to do another three-step combination, but this time instead of being forward and back you're going to move to the right and then back to the left. Step with your right foot out so that your feet are a little more than shoulder-width apart.

At the same time, put your left hand on your hip and point your right hand up and to the right in the air. Your body will naturally rock your weight over to the right, and it's ok to emphasize that wiggle a bit, especially in your hips.

Without moving your feet, let your body weight shift over so it's mostly on your left foot, and bring your right pointing hand down diagonally across your body to point down at the floor. Again, this should be a sinuous, smooth move of the whole body. Your left hand stays on your hip. Rock your body weight back onto the right foot and repeat those two steps again.

Many different countries have some form of hustle dancing. There is an international organization that fosters the growth of hustle dancing including competitions called the International Hustle Dance Association.
