    Beginner New York Hustle
    ---------------------------------
    Tuesdays, 6:45 8:00 PM
    October 12 - November 9

    New York Hustle is a partner dance that originated in the Latin clubs of
    New York and Miami in early 1970's. It is an exciting, fast-paced dance
    that combines Latin rhythm, turns, and partner work with the styling
    influences of ballet and martial arts.

    Hustle is a modern and highly versatile dance, easily incorporating
    moves from Cha-Cha, Mambo, Salsa, and Ballroom. It has grown to take a
    prominent place beside Salsa at congresses in New York, Miami, Chicago,
    LA, and other major cities. You can dance Hustle at any tempo to
    Merengue, euro, house, latin house, and much other contemporary dance
    music (see http://www.i-h-d-a.com/aboutthedance.htm) .

    The beginning Hustle class is for Salsa dancers and others who would
    like to learn a fun new dance that they can take to the club right along
    with Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue. Instruction will focus on the Hustle
    fundamentals of posture, footwork, partner connection, and turning.
    Taught by Paul Jones and Muge

    Each session (5 classes in total) is $30.
    No partner is required.
