HUSTLE DANCE CLUB NEWS
November 27, 1995
Hope everyone had a wonderful THANKSGIVING.
Well, we've just knock down another great, New York Style,
Hustle Workshop with Debra Hampton and Dave Sarul of the
HUSTLE USA group. My Special Thanks to Debra and Dave for a
super workshop and for their dance exhibition at The
Metronome Ballroom Friday, November 10th. Their floor dance
exhibition left a few people scratching their heads and
many more with their mouths open. Thanks to Paul Overton,
from the Metronome Ballroom, for allowing Debra and Dave
the opportunity to dance. I would also like to Thank, Ava
Apple for her hospitality, at her Salsa-Hustle Dance and
Michelle Kinkaid, for inviting us to her Country Meets
Swing Dance, Sunday November 12. Debra and Dave definitely
impressed the crowds at both Parties with their dancing.
One woman exclaimed " I've never seen Hustle, danced that
way before. It was so wonderful to watch". ( Go to New
York! ) Last of all, the Tuesday night dance, at The Grand
Palace restaurant, Debra and Dave "WOWED" the Hustle crowd
with a wonderful Hustle exhibition.
Thanks to all the volunteers, Robin Rebello and her son
Alan, Jay Larrick and Dennis McAffee, for all their help
during the workshop. Great job!
The One and Only Maria Torres ( HUSTLE USA ), will be back,
starting in 1996, for another New York Style, Hustle
Workshop, stay tune for more information. Take advantage of
these opportunities, folks. One big reason, some time in
the near future, there will be an event, where, East Coast
meets West Coast and not because of some big EARTHQUAKE!
This event will be held, HERE in THE BAY AREA. I would
advise most of you, to try and UP GRADE your HUSTLE
DANCING. There are some new and exciting things happening
to Hustle Dancing. Some of us already know about it,
because we've been there and saw it first hand, most of you
don't have a clue as to what's happening. Take advantage of
these workshops, we provide them for YOUR benefit.
Since our return from New York, great things have been
brewing with the Hustle Scene. Now that HUSTLE USA has
organized one big event for the year, and years to come,
there are now possibilities for smaller or regional events
to appear. The best thing that happened, for Hustle
Dancing, was Hustle USA 's Dance Championships. They
attracted Dancers from all over the United States ( over
300 ), who want to organize into their own Hustle Groups
like our own, Hustle Dance Club. The possibilities of
finally having dance events that cater to Hustle Dancers is
just around the corner. BE PREPARED!
Someone once was told me, they were playing more and more
Hustle music, at OTHER dance events. After attending
several of these OTHER dance events it was very depressing.
After three and a half hours, they played four hustle
songs, two salsas and a bunch of OTHER music. ( Humm, I
wonder what MORE meant? ) Of course, what should I have
expected, OTHER dances should play OTHER music, not Hustle,
really dumb on my part. Sort of like, a Salsa Dancer, going
to a West Coast Swing Dance expecting to hear LOTS of
Salsa! Not gon'na happen. Like I've said before, it is
encouraging to hear some Hustle music being played at OTHER
dances but it's NOT what real Hustle Dancers want. Real
Hustle Dancers want Lots of Hustle music. If you want to
know the meaning of "LOTS" go see The New York Hustle Clubs
or The HUSTLE USA Dance Championships October 12 & 13th and
You'll find out. Better yet, come to one of the Tuesday,
Thursday or Friday night dances listed below and at least
you'll know what "MORE" means. Hustle Dancers should not
rely on OTHER dances for all their Hustle Dancing, even
though we can dance the OTHER dances. Never fear Hustle
Dance events are on there way. Hustle Dancing for Hustle
Dancers, where OTHER music will be a side show, just to
break up the non stop orgy of Hustle music being played,
..... maybe? Anyway, whether you attend the OTHER dances or
HUSTLE dances, just keep dancing because Dancing is life
and Life is dancing!

Raul Ante
