****The Authority for Hustle Instruction****

An excellent book! Not surprising since it's written by dance instructors and is becoming
an international standard in the dance world. The text is VERY comprehensive with easy-to-follow charts. The "precedes and Follows" section is particularly helpful, as is the Bronze Hustle Teaching Tape, which is meant to accompany the book. Overall, an excellent tool for use with my students.

Reviewer: A reader from New York, New York, October 21, 2000


Although I have been teaching Hustle since finishing as a finalist in the US Championships in 1983, I felt that a strong source for reference for Hustle was absolutely necessary. Not only to substantiate what I have written but also to provide a resource for continued advancement for my readers in this fabulous dance. First I must tell you that it was not easy for me to select one video and book from the many that are out there in the marketplace. I have many friends in the profession who have compiled other video notebooks in Hustle. A video was still needed that met the rigorous standards that a top-level teacher and examiner (of teachers) could use a "Bible".

My first experience with a work by authors John P. Nyemchek and Neil Shell was their incredibly comprehensive book "Hustle". I was overjoyed to learn that this text was produced in a video format! Once viewed it was easy for me to select this one over the six or seven that I already own. The treatment that Johnny and Cathi give the teaching portions of this tape are exemplary for anyone who wishes to learn "Hustle." There are simple examples of both male and female parts shown in each pattern (step or figure) as solo dancers as well as couple. For each pattern there are breakdowns of the amounts of turn and leads & follows. Wait it gets better. There are cumulative progressions for each pattern connecting them to either preceding or following patterns. This shows how each pattern can be used on the dance floor. "What more could any beginner ask for?" For those who have danced Hustle for many years, and those of you who are starting out, you’ll find the routine danced by Neil Shell and Diane Hakak both nostalgic and entertaining!

My search to provide a reference for my thousands of readers was completed! I heartily recommend
and endorse this video. It has over 40 variations and is the "one and only" you will need to start this dance and continue for some time. It’s worth, is well beyond its cost!
