Most of these people probably weren't even born yet when the Hustle came out -- but it's timeless and watching them let loose and have so much fun is putting a huge smile on MY face!
When I learned this dance in gym class in '77, there was no 'Travolta'. I'm not sure where the heck that came from, but it's different from the original way people danced it in the 70's. It's easier, though, and plays into the fun of the 70's vibe and nostalgia. And who doesn't love the Travolta? Dance on! :)
very, very close to the Hustle we originally did...NO ONE "pointed" with a finger....We simply kept our fingers together in a graceful "wave" style. So glad I'm old!
I've been listening to this song since I was a kid in the 1970s and this is the first hustle tutorial I've ever seen. I was doing my best to do the dance steps with the people in the video so thank you for posting!
What a wonderful video you guys. I used to dance but never learned the complete hustle. I will be practicing now. Thank you I think you did well everyone!!
This is really close to The Hustle that we did - it was so great. I loved my platform shoes - we just had great calves to keep our Candies on and stay vertical! I don't know if anyone knows (or really wants to know) but the guys with long hair, shades, etc., are dressed like the 60's, not the mid 1970's when The Hustle was popular. No peace signs then. The instructor looks like the disco ladies of the time! We had so much fun and I loved the video! Really took me back. Thanks and Keep on Truckin'.
Hello Jeanette, Ah yes, the Deborah Harry Candie's , weren't those the bomb? It's a shame things can't stay the way we remember them, but true classics never really go out of style, boogie on !
Were good years Jeanette. We did our Hustle in the George pub, Northfield, lol The Rum Runner, Snobs, Rebeccas, Barbarellas, The Lecarno...ohhhh the dayyyyys 👍
I agree, except…in the Midwest, St. Louis area, in Disco Era, us girls either wore disco dresses or bell bottoms &halter tops and a lot of guys still had long hair, flared pants, tight, pointed collar shirts. We all wore platform shoes and Peace signs&gold chains were very popular. There were a lot of Discos in the Bi-state counties of St. Louis Metro area and across the river in Illinois. So many great memories!
@@lindalouise4340 Hi Linda!!!! If I had lived in your area, and had known you, we could have had the best fun! Thanks for your comment. I miss those days so much!!!😃
Learned to do this while in the Army by one of the doctors I worked with who taught us how to do this and other dances during our breaks and lunchtime...
Back in the day in my neighborhood we called this dance "The Bus Stop", not "The Hustle"! The Hustle is an entirely different dance, and done with a partner, not in a line like this - and there were many variations/types of Hustle too! This dance step here appears to have been taken straight from the club scene in the movie "Saturday Night Fever", starring John Travolta.
I learned this dance in high school gym class in the mid to late 70s. This was definitely the Hustle I learned. Never would and never will dance this way in heels. Edit I think this dance was performed to the song Night Fever in Saturday Night Fever.
@@starluna03 Yes because I lived in a small town in NZ that only had one primary school and one High School ... at 11 you left the primary school and went straight to the high school into form one class because we did not have an intermediate school because the population wasn't big enough. Now the population of said town is even smaller and the primary school I went to has gone and all that remains is the one high school for children of all ages and is now known as the Area School' ... so next time you doubt someone or question their credibility try to think beyond your limited imagination and bear in mind that you might just not know it all after all.
@@booth2710 I noticed it too but I thought it was a typo and assumed there was more to it, nobody would make that kind of error to deceive people...too obvious. I loved your comment to put this buffoon in his place. LMAO..😂. Society has so many of these people trying to show their superiority and moral compass, it makes them feel important , when in fact it blows up in their face. LOVE IT!!!!
Por fin algo parecido a HUSTLE, la vestimenta que la mayoría está usando es estilo HIPIE, moda qué terminó en 1973,1974 ya que la música Disco 70 inició un 14 de Noviembre de 1974 y en 1975 ya se terminaron la minifalda, collares de Amor y Paz, botas largas etc. imperó la maxifalda, una gran variedad de cortes y peinados en mujeres y hombres, se terminó el pantalón pata de elefante en hombres y mujeres.
This is what life use to be about. Having fun instead of all the negative comments. By the way there are many variations on dances and music depending sometimes to regional, country and etc., plus I believe it says: Hustle Fever Night. Not being there they might be learn different dances associated to the Hustle. Learn to enjoy life and have fun stop worrying about the little things.
Well, those days are long gone unfortunately sweetie and it seems they won't be coming back anytime soon. It's sad but the unfortunate reality we live in.
There's a vid of Pan's People dancing to this on Top of the Pops back in '75. No idea what they were dancing, and they probably didn't know either, but it sure wasn't The Hustle!
Folks, take a look at the official music video of the Van McCoy song, the Hustle. There you will see the dance that went with the song. Several versions, but all with 2 people as partners, not a line dance
When we used to do the "old school" hustle in BK, we never had to count off anything. We just got on the floor and did our thing. As a female, if you got a man that was a good leader, you could basically clear the floor.
I can never get through this song with the proper dance. After about 30 seconds I start spinning in circles and gliding around in some mutated version of The Hustle...lol.… Same with “Loves Theme“ by Love Unlimited Orchestra. 😀💕
This was in Saturday Night Fever. It is NOT the original dance called the Hustle! As someone suggested, watch some old episodes of Soul Train to see how to do the Hustle. It's done with a partner, not a line dance!
We didn't do the "Saturday Night Fever- John Travolta" hustle. The movement with the arms is hilarious. Check out old clips of Soul Train to see how to hustle.
That is because this song came out two years before the movie. This is some hybrid version of the original dance and the movie dance. The arm stuff was definitely not in the original dance. I've only been able to find one video that has the original dance.
Yes, and you click heels together, and after you do that, it’s click click, and then tap tap to front tap tap to the back tap tap to the side and then you do your turn. 😊
oooh my God, I am in love with that woman in the brown dress and black pantys and her long beauitiful long brown hair. She is a gift from heaven with her constantly sweet smile. Who is she ??????
We had to learn this in dance class in the seventh grade. We did much better than these adults are doing...of course, , most of us knew it from the movie long before dance class
For about the first half of this video, the guy on the far left looks a lot like Victor Arroyo from Big Brother 18... Nicole's guy and partner on this years Amazing Race.
i have a question,theres kind of a version of this for country and then theres another one version that everybody knows in the us and does it like in weddings and parties,what is that one called?
This is not how you do The Hustle. The song came in 1975, 2 years before Saturday Night Fever came out in 1977. At the time the song came out, nobody even knew who John Travolta was. The dance is: starting on the left foot, three steps forward, tap right foot. Three steps back, tap left foot. Repeat. Turn step to the left, tap right foot, turn step to the right, tap left foot. Step close to the left, step close to the right. Quick tap left front, quick tap right front, pivot turn and take it from the top. No Travolta arms, no arm rolls, no elbow flaps.
bigkozlov Apparently, there were several different dances back then that were named "The Hustle". One of them was a line dance, like this, and another was a couples dance.
Sequence is not the same as in the movie. After the 360 vine, kick ball change, skate, disco point, roll hands, chicken, etc. .....watch the movie again. You missed the kick ball change and skate. Maybe that's how you do this in California. The rest of the moves are great!
The Hustle was being danced for two years before Saturday Night Fever came out. So, to me, this is not the true dance for The Hustle. It never had that stupid Travolta move.
Hey. Thanks for commenting. Would you be available to visit us and tell us how it was done before Saturday Night Fever. I would argue about stupidity of Travolta’s move. Looks fun to me but of course overused

I so miss the this era of music and dance…good times growing up and learning dance steps to GOOD MUSIC!
This made me happy and for the first time since I learned I had cancer, got me up dancing! Thank you!
ah hope you get well
I hope you are doing better, Flora!
Hello hope your doing well.
😊
We are so happy we can bring you good mood. Hope all is going well with you.

Good to see someone still teaching steps to the hustle. Thanks.
Toby Fox Did you know that she's not teaching the hustle? THIS is hustle......... ua-cam.com/video/fmcmOGsV6tU/v-deo.html
The lady in the green pants. Bless her heart. 😍😂
She will eventually catch on...

I've seen several videos giving instructions and this one is the best
Thee Instructor here is really great. 💯
very, very close to the Hustle we originally did...NO ONE "pointed" with a finger....We simply kept our fingers together in a graceful "wave" style. So glad I'm old!
I used to know how to do it in the early 70's. Most popular dance then..
Hi from England just came across your video great you lovely people I was 15 when this came out ❤ it was lovely watching you all

Total respect to the woman teaching this in those heels! I could barely walk in those!
"The Hustle" came out when I was about 7 years old. Remember it from the radio so clearly.
Learned to do this while in the Army by one of the doctors I worked with who taught us how to do this and other dances during our breaks and lunchtime...

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO excellent ladys and gentleman's. I love it thank you
Thank you. Come dance with us if you are in the area.

Richard Booth high school when you were eleven. Real believable.

I wished that they would bring this back again, as it was the very first line dance in the 1970s.

These events are always so fun. Need to go to more of these.
Trying to learn how to dance this I love this song 🤩
Love this song and dance steps wonderful ❤️ memories Thank you
The guy in khaki slacks with white shirt and tie in the back gets my vote :)
I was eighteen when the song came out and working as a truck mechanic and when that song would come on we would do that dance on the shop floor
We did this in gym class when I was in elementary school.... It was loads of fun😁👍
Our elementary school had dances, and we do this dance when the song came on.
I was in Philadelphia in 1975 when the Hustle was popular. It was not a line dance. I was for couple holding hands and doing spins and such.

Love it. UK Hustle was a little different. Couples Hustle was yum 👍🤗

The Time Warp?
OOOH My God, I love the girl on the left on the first row. She is so beautiful and always smiling. Who is she ???
Some of the steps are a little bit incorrect. But all in all, it was very nice.
Saturday night 🌃 the purchased of New York .
We didn't do the "Saturday Night Fever- John Travolta" hustle. The movement with the arms is hilarious. Check out old clips of Soul Train to see how to hustle.

It's official I will watch ANYTHING
Good one :)
Join the club.
I wished they showed more of the guy under the disco ball
Nah! you mean the guy with the white shirt and tie!
I think i have figured it out!
There was one part she forgot to explain that in 2 parts of the song you have to do the walk back and walk forward twice
Yep, it's the only way to get the 3 steps back to start with the right part of the song.
I’m horrible at dancing on my own but can learn (though it may take me longer than most people to do it well lol depending on the difficulty).
This dance was very popular in the 1970's.
In my childhood I only learned the cupid shuffle the electric slide and the cha cha slide never the hussle 😔💔
The lady in the green pants we’ve all been there sweetie. 👍
Reminds me of Middle School when the class did the Macarena and I kept messing up while everyone else was on beat and on step.
@@varietygameplayandmore8189 awww
I think you left out the step/ ball change and the “skate” …this is the Saturday Night Fever. Dance!
Yes, and you click heels together, and after you do that, it’s click click, and then tap tap to front tap tap to the back tap tap to the side and then you do your turn. 😊
excelent forever
Sensacional ao reconhecimento do legado de Van McCoy 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great job guys
wow memories
Glad we help you relive some 😉
Grazie! 💖
oooh my God, I am in love with that woman in the brown dress and black pantys and her long beauitiful long brown hair. She is a gift from heaven with her constantly sweet smile. Who is she ??????
Great, I can do that.

So much fun!
Sad but I would b the lady in the green pants and how did I even end up here🤣🤣
omg the guy with the deep V tshirt on the left
Oh! you guys are doing THE BUSSTOP, not The Hustle. Sorry if you were confused by your Gym Teachers and by the SNF movie with Travolta.... smh...
Weird. I don't know if she made up this version, but it doesn't look right. But they were having fun so well done.
This got me praying to the gods for a new trans-am.
can't imagine doing this in platform heels on a slick floor ha ha
The only way to do it
How to twist your ankle in two easy steps.
The hassle it's fun good way exercise Megan Wilsonim 43 years Jayson webber

So 😎 cool
Thank you.
To nowyet silentdust...2 years ago. Yeah, you can. If I can, you can, because I have 2 left feet!
Maan i got duh feeva!!!
i have a question,theres kind of a version of this for country and then theres another one version that everybody knows in the us and does it like in weddings and parties,what is that one called?
Electric slide
SO GOOD!
This is not how you do The Hustle. The song came in 1975, 2 years before Saturday Night Fever came out in 1977. At the time the song came out, nobody even knew who John Travolta was.

That's what I thought!!!!
I wish someone would show the actual moves!
If you're really cool you'll click your heels together during the chicken wings.
Liked this tutorial thanks
🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
So where is the song THE HUSTLE
OH! OK
I am so sorry, but this is not the hustle
This is a Dance they did in the movie Saturday night fever
The hustle dance is nowhere like that
Good job guys but hate breaking it to you -it ain't the Hustle.
bigkozlov Apparently, there were several different dances back then that were named "The Hustle". One of them was a line dance, like this, and another was a couples dance.
Are you serious why can't I find the hustle
Love you all
Sequence is not the same as in the movie. After the 360 vine, kick ball change, skate, disco point, roll hands, chicken, etc. .....watch the movie again. You missed the kick ball change and skate. Maybe that's how you do this in California. The rest of the moves are great!
Which song is this? Can someone help me with this track please?
Van McCoy - The Hustle from 1975
So "The Hustle" was the predecessor to "Caballo del rodeo"? Hmmm the more you know i guess.
The Hustle was being danced for two years before Saturday Night Fever came out. So, to me, this is not the true dance for The Hustle. It never had that stupid Travolta move.
Hey. Thanks for commenting. Would you be available to visit us and tell us how it was done before Saturday Night Fever.
I would argue about stupidity of Travolta’s move.
Looks fun to me but of course overused
still can not figure out how girls dance in heels
The lorax mom
man the heckler needs a smak
No kidding. What a jerk.
That isn't the hustle we learned in the 70s
Bus Stop...?
Poor young lady in the green pants- this is not her thing
