Latin Hustle Workshop with McKendon and Suesan

May 31, 2026 Sunday 4:30-6PM

Get ready to groove with one of the most versatile and expressive partner dances—Latin Hustle. Born in the South Bronx in the 1970s, Hustle emerged from Puerto Rican and Black communities and quickly spread across New York City dance floors. Known for its smooth slot-based movement, rhythmic footwork, and dynamic turns, Hustle has evolved into a social dance that blends seamlessly with a wide range of music—from disco roots to modern house, R&B, hip-hop, and Afrobeats.

For dancers coming from salsa or bachata, Hustle will feel both familiar and refreshingly different. Like salsa, it uses a slot and emphasizes timing, connection, and partnerwork—but with a unique rhythm (often danced to a “&1, 2, 3” timing) that opens up new musical interpretations and styling possibilities. It’s an incredible cross-training dance that builds lead/follow clarity, musicality, and adaptability on the social floor.

This workshop will introduce foundational Hustle timing, turns, and partner connection, while exploring how it intersects with other Latin dances. Whether you’re brand new or looking to expand your social dance toolkit, you’ll walk away with skills you can immediately use on the dance floor.
