A mix of fact & fantasy turned this song great! As a Brazilian boy at that time, I really fell in love with this song when I bought this album(I was 18). Cheers to American black music!!!! Lutchedoze, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

I can still dance a mean hustle, and this is one of my favorite songs to dance to! Brings back great memories from my clubbing days in NYC during those fabulous disco years! I miss them to this day and wish so much they would return. :-(

[34thstreetman]

@Dancer810 There are ballroom dance studios that have hustle parties especially in NYC.

[Dancer810]

@34thstreetman Unfortunately, I've been living in FL almost 23 years now, so I cannot take advantage of those hustle parties. :-(

[34thstreetman]

@Dancer810 Once a year in April, there is a competition/convention in Miami or Orlando called the IHSC International hustle salsa convention. Some of the promoter have a school in Florida area. Check it out.

[Dancer810]

@34thstreetman Thanks for the info! :-)

[Dancer810]

@34thstreetman Thanks much. I will. :-)

[LSincere7]

@Dancer810 Check out the International Hustle and Salsa Association (IHSA), based in Miami
