Waterfront Dance Socials (Brooklyn Bridge Park)

Expert instructors and local dance legends teach you how to move, highlighting distinct dance styles that have important roots here in NYC. Get moving with free all-levels dance classes under the Brooklyn Bridge at Emily Warren Roebling Plaza!

On Saturday, 9/16 join for Hustle led by Jeff Selby! New Style Hustle, founded by Jeff Selby in 2010, is based on the original partner dance of the 1970’s, The Hustle. Originally developed in the Bronx by the young Puerto Rican community, The Hustle has its roots in Mambo and Salsa. It takes hustle and allows freedom and variation of footwork with rhythmic changes that connect to today’s music. New Style Hustle calls for personalization and brings with it all kinds of street styles. Though it is usually done to house music, it now reaches a variety of genres like R&B, disco, hip hop and more!

Each night starts off with a 45-minute all-levels introductory class, which will transition into a dance party. All are welcome, regardless of skill level.
