HUSTLE DANCE CLUB NEWS FAMOUS QUOTE: by Abraham Lincoln: "THINGS may come to those who wait, But only THINGS left by those who HUSTLE." (Provided by: Michael Cohen) Someone once told me Hustle was a HOT dance, that it was HOT in New York, it was HOT in L. A., Those of you who attended our June 24th workshop, with Maria Torres, really found out what HOT means! Attendees who are still alive, must be commended for surviving one of the hottest days of the year. The out side temperature was over 100 degrees so you can imagine what the inside was like. On the positive side we got a HOT pattern and the workshop detailed much needed styling and technique for Hustle Dancing. Maria will be back for another workshop and private lessons, sometime January or February 1996. Our next workshop date will be November 11, 1995 stay tuned for more details. Thanks again to all of you who have supported our workshops, and special thanks to: Robin Rebello, Stefanie Elkin, Jay Larrick, Dennis Mc Affee, Bobby Concepcion, Les Robinson and Carolyn Jones for all they have done to make our efforts successful. Club Members who wish to volunteer their time and resources, Please call me, ( Raul Ante ), at 415-467-8830. Your services would be appreciated. I would also like to thank all the Club Members who attended Ava Apple's Hustle Workshop/Dance, Jerry Bielfeldt, James Bower, Sam Howard, Lilianna Martinez, Marc Mc Govern, Adele Poenisch and Deepak Khiani: Ava thanks you for your support! There has been much discussion concerning the different styles of Hustle Dancing ( N.Y., L.A., Orange County, Ballroom, Club or Street Style ). There are some people who say one style is superior to the others or that a certain style is the "New Style". Good dancing is good dancing no matter where or what part of the country it comes from. I have seen good dancers, with different styles of Hustle and it was all very exciting to watch. Just remember, a bad dancer will make any style look bad. All Styles of Hustle have something to offer. All real Professional Dance Instructors have something to give in terms of knowledge. Old basic Hustle moves are the roots to the "New Styles of Hustle". The Hustle Rhythm or beat is the same for ALL STYLES. As Maria Torres told me "HUSTLE IS HUSTLE" no matter what style you are doing. All the different styles offer new ideas in movement such as traveling from a slot, to a circular, diagonal, linear movement. There are influences from Latin, swing and ballroom dances. Some of the foot work and body styling, we are seeing, in HUSTLE, is coming from international style ballroom. There is more to dancing than just patterns, I see a definite need for people to learn better rhythm, more positioning, connection, foot & body technique and much more. To the beginner and the intermediate dancer, be wary of all those people who are constantly giving you advise on the dance floor, it may not be your fault. Seek the advise of a real professional, one who makes their living teaching dance, you will be much better off. The Bay Area has some very good, quality, Professional Dance Instructors, see our list below, take a lesson. Do not change your style of dancing, on someone else's whim, be creative, let your style grow. We, THE HUSTLE DANCE CLUB, see the need to expose you to as many different styles of Hustle as we can, and to provide quality "PROFESSIONAL DANCE INSTRUCTORS". So far, we have concentrated on New York Style Hustle. In future workshops we will have Instructors from different parts of the country ( Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, San Francisco and parts unknown ). With all these different influences, we will have our own unique San Francisco or Bay Area style of Hustle! So remember to keep an open mind, variety is the spice of life, dancing is life, keep dancing.
