Nightclub or "Club" dancing means something different to everyone. Here are the dances we consider Nightclub dances.
If you don't find the one you are looking for check under some of the other categories. Salsa might be one of them. We put Salsa under Latin Dances.

Hustle

Does the word "Hustle" conjure images of Travolta line dancing in his bell bottom pants and famous disco pose? Well that couldn't be further from the Hustle we dance today! It's now a contemporary dance, always evolving and maintaining popularity. Hustle incorporates elements from several dances such as West Coast Swing, Latin dances and Ballroom arm styling.

History: Hustle originated in the 1970’s Disco Era and was popularized by John Travolta in the movie “Saturday Night Fever.” Both the music and the dance swept the country like wild-fire and although the white suits and gold chains have faded away the dance has stayed. It is still one of the most popular nightclub dances today.

Discotheques (Disco) with high quality sound systems, and flashing lights became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and America in the late 1960’s and throughout the 70’s. In the early 1970’s a new dance craze became popular on the crowded dance floors of New York. This “Touch Disco” was called the Hustle. The Hustle marked a return to popular dances where couples danced touching each other. The popularity of modern and “retro” music with “disco” beat keeps this dance fresh, exciting and full of energy today.

Nightclub 2-Step

This is the dance to do when a slow song is played and it's probably one of the easiest dances you'll ever learn! It is a romantic dance, consisting of triple-steps set to popular music. It enables couples to glide over the dance floor with simplicity and grace. Often wedding couples choose it for their first dance because it is so easy and beautiful and it goes well to the love songs of today.
