Editorial
Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, was
advantageous for learning the hustle.
I immersed my self into learning and consuming this
fascinating dance. What I absorbed was comparable to the art
of Karate - the hustle has many forms and styles. Not just one.
There were many incredible leaders in the 70's and 80's including:
James Stanford, Butchie Everett, Tony Marolda, Scott Nurse,
Miguel Marrero, Lucas Jamie, Arte Phillips, Jose Gonzales, Juan
Hernandez, Hector Berrios, Melvin Curry, Ray Bogart, David Padilla,
Jeff Shelley, George Velazquez .....the list goes on. The cool thing
was, these gentlemen were all tremendous leaders yet they all danced
and displayed a different look. Yes, all doing the hustle but with a
personalized flair.
Hands, arms, posture, foot work,
speed, lines, spins, technique etc, they all
interpreted the dance differently.
I remember going to the Roseland Ballroom, in Manhattan, in the early
80's and walking around the circumference of the huge dance floor.
Hundreds of couples were dancing simultaneously that evening.
I explained to a friend, you could virtually identity who was from what
area based on their hustle style (Bronx,
Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn, etc) Similar
to the way some folks can distinguish a persons
accent to determine where they live. The portrayal of your
hustle was like your dance DNA.
Hustle will continue to exist for decades to come. But again, like any
art form, there is a latitude in how you can portray the hustle and
....the speed you prefer to dance it. Performing the
dance depends on the beats per minute of the song. We loved songs
like "Cuba", "Born to Be Alive", "Romeo & Juliet",
high energy, quick tempo and exciting...but we also embraced
"Rio De Janeiro", "More then A women" , "More More More", and
other romantic, slower songs. We danced to both speeds and
everything in between. Today, we continue to dance to classics as well
as the newest club songs heard on satelite radio.
I had the honor ,as the Master Of Ceremonies, last month
to first hand observe the Junior Pro/Am divisions in
hustle ( where teenagers competed). The hustle
dance continues to grow but maybe not as fast as it could. It
does need to be energized.
How do we win back the youth?
That is a Herculean challenge and highly complex issue. There
is no silver bullet or fast fix remedy. The disco era was more then
just the music and dance, it became a life style supported by clubs,
radio, motion pictures and fashion. The hustle of the 70's crossed
over, capturing the interest level of all ages - young and old.
Dancing and music are cyclical. The two must meet at the right time to
create that symbiotic relationship. Since the music has favored rap for
the last few years the songs cater to free style and
hip hop dancing, but......it too, will run its course. The
planets appear to be aligning for a
touch dancing come back. Dancing is everywhere on
television. Partner dancing is gaining momentum. But
it will take everyone to encourage and welcome the next generation of
dancers to get involved. Everyone has to play a part. Has the hustle
changed over the years? I don't know if changed is the appropriate
word. I believe the dance has evolved. New patterns and steps have been
implemented. The beauty of the hustle has always been the
freedom for one to express themselves. The hustle has a rich history.
One goal of DanceTalk (over the last eight years) has been to share the
roots, biographies, memories and land mark events, that created the
foundation for the hustle. It is never acceptable
to degrade or criticize fellow dancers based on their
style, skill level or age. Nobody wins. We currently
have many dance events that provide a wonderful opportunity for new and
seasoned dancers to learn, compete and socialize. The organizers take a
high financial risk when providing these events. They deserve
our praise and support, as they all strive to grow and
constantly improve their weekends.
Before the disco era, Rock & Roll ruled.
There will never be another band quite like the
" Beatles", but, Rock & Roll will live on
forever. The hustle may have experienced some of its
better days but the fun and pleasure it brings
will continue for new hustle dancers for generations
to come.
