Dear DanceTalk® Readers,
We are excited to launch the DanceTalk Hustle Hall Of Fame. We have an incredible nominating panel. Together we have created and developed this site for all of our readers. The nine-panel members, make up over 100 years of hustle experience.
We come from the early days of hustle and we are committed to staying on the cutting edge of the hustle today. We come from different cities, different backgrounds and experiences to identify the eligible candidates for the Hall Of Fame.
We have created the Life Time Achievement, Legends, First Generation, Dance Champions and Honorarium Divisions.
Our readers will nominate the candidates for the divisions: Competitors and Top Of the Class. The Competitors division, constitutes any dancer that is actively competing in the hustle today. The Top of the Class identifies those dancers that excel in the hustle whether they are from back in the day or are a current social dancer.
Any member of the Hall of Fame can submit pictures of themselves for posting on the website. Mail to dannsirs@yahoo.com
To nominate a candidate please send the dancers full name to ron.bess@comcast.com
and please put Hall Of Fame in the subject box. ---
Special thanks to Marty Angelo, who created the first "Hustle Dancers Hall Of Fame in 2000".
