Very insightful! Great job on the leading and following portions of Hustle.

Product Description

Master the dance floor with Hustle for Beginners! Hustle is characterized by an extremely smooth look, with the dancers turning, rotating, and moving around the floor with seamless motion and minimal vertical movement or bounce. Overall, the Hustle is a dance that was born as an adaptation to the new music of the disco craze, but has survived as a unique couples lead and follow dance that has and will continue to grow with the times, trends and needs of the dancing public. It is a versatile dance with chameleon qualities that make it a highly effective tool in the beginner dancer's playbook.

Multiple camera angles and Picture-In-Picture technology combined with a thorough and easy-to-follow lesson plan make this DVD very appealing and will have you dancing shortly after starting. Shawn Trautman has been a coach and mentor to numerous World Champions as well as countless social dancers since the early 1990's. Shawn welcomes people from all walks of life regardless of shape, size, or ability to his classes. His broad experience in both dance and Advanced Learning Techniques makes his methods of instruction innovative, easy, and fun. If you're ready to learn and have fun, Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection is the way to go. Order your copy today, and be ready to dance by the weekend! If you'd just like to sample the Hustle before doing the entire dance, try either the Couples Ultimate Dance Sampler or the Ballroom and Latin Dance Sampler - both by Shawn Trautman.

5.0 out of 5 stars These instructors make learning to dance easy!, April 22, 2006

By	I Love to Dance (Florida) - See all my reviews

It is evident in this video lesson that these instructors really want you to learn the Hustle! The insight from their experience in teaching dance really shows when they can anticipate where a student might need help and then coach with precision through those steps. They repeat the dance steps often while counting and then help to build the skills needed for the more complex combinations. I really like the review of all of the steps at the end of the video and the bonus material that is included as a challenge. The lesson is fun and you will be inspired to dance when you watch this video!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to Disco Dancing, October 23, 2006

By	Dom A. Valbuena "DAV" (SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the early 80's my wife and I did a lot of Disco dancing but somehow the dance craze died down and we forgot all the moves. Now with this DVD it brings us back to dancing Disco again which is great for when we go on cruises and even social dancing in our hometown. There seem to be a revival of the old Disco dance. The steps and moves in the DVD are all we need. They are easy to follow and to remember because of repetitive instructions. The review at the end sums it all up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Video!, March 13, 2007

By	Devon Elizabeth Murray - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I always wanted to learn to do the hustle because it goes with so many styles of music. This is a fantastic learning tool. Shawn breaks the dance down in such a clear format that it is easy to pick up. He also offers a lot of hints which are super helpful. I've been dancing for a long time and was surprised to see a video that was just as educational as private instruction. I can't wait to try the west coast swing!!
