I never get tired of watching this routine. Lori Ann's teaching advanced Hustle at Stepping Out in NY...stop by and take her class! It's lots of fun.

Do you have a copy of this routine from the viewpoint of the front?

[shelma1]

If I did, I would post it. :)

Can someone tell me the name and version of this song?

"Nowhere" by Aquanote.

This is a great routine, but I understand what people mean when they think that Ballroom Professionals get too far away from the original dances sometimes. They start all looking the same and you can't tell what kind of dance it is, because they don't follow the rules of the dance they are dancing. I am a dancer and I think it takes more skill to keep the timing of the dance and the basic steps in the dance and work the lifts, dips, etc. around them. It keeps the dance recognizable.

@BobBelson-I get a kick out of MORONS like yourself who confuse " theater arts dancing" with real dancing !!! To call these two " world hustle champions " is an affront to all the dancers who perform this dance with grace, poise and elegance without having to resort to acrobatics. Re-read my posts again and get your terminology straight....CLOWN !!!

@zxcvbnrebus -I get a kick out of you idiots that cant make a distinction between theater arts dance (Lifts tricks & dips allowed) and Just Hustle divisions (that allow the EASIER versions of the dance that you probably are cabable of doing. I will bet you REALLY DO- But the fact is you likely have zero upper body strength or athletic skills to perform on this level- so you r a hater that dismisses superior skill to your own with sh#t talk. Get to the gym. Your an out of shape NOTHING!

@zxcvbnrebus How about the hesitations? Oh maybe you don't know what that is.

@gnorphxxx You can do better?

@FormerTVAddict The first section is all rumba. It wasn't until 1:11 that she did an "&1" for the first time, then not again until 1:32, and her first real basic &1 2 3 didn't happen until 1:42 (which he syncopated), then they finally did their first real hustle pattern, the diamond, at 1:45. That is half way through the routine. Then more non-hustle syncopations and then a few more basics starting at 2:15.

[FormerTVAddict]

They were good dancers, but I saw almost no hustle. And I understand that it's normal for classic routines to have a lot of syncopations but this took it too far imho. Not only was there a lack of recognizable basic patterns but the character of the dance was also missing, I felt it resembled International Cha more than hustle.
