Question:

What is dancing hustle?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Hustle is a catchall name for several disco dances which were extremely popular in the 1970s. Today it mostly refers to a type of swing dance based on various earlier forms of hustle and similar in style to East Coast Swing, though in the 1970s there was also a line dance called the Hustle. Modern Hustle is sometimes referred to as New York Hustle.

Based on older dances such as the mambo, the Hustle originated in Hispanic communities in New York City and Florida in the 1970s. This was originally a line dance with a Salsa-like foot rhythm, that after some fusion with swing and eventual shortening of the count to "&1 2 3", became the present "New York" Hustle.
