New York and California styles of Hustle remained the same large steps, long sweeping patterns, and a random basis of movement. These are some of the common flaws found in these styles of Hustle, especially in social dancing. In Michigan, Hustle was going through a metamorphosis. As all dances must, Hustle was growing and maturing. Now that Hustle is seeing its national rebirth, let's not go back to doing the same illogical things that caused the wonderful dance to die in the 80s.
All dance starts with some mutuality of movement.
It is illogical to start with partners moving away from each other. Again, an incorrect movement technique. Let's take a look at a new style based strictly on the technique and logic of good partnering. We start the dance with both partners coming forward. That satisfies the problem of mutual movement.
