About us

The Hustle community in the Netherlands started as early as 2016, when we invited teachers such as Jeff Selby to teach workshops in his "New Style Hustle." A few years later, Piotr and Marcelina from Poland, who were living in Amsterdam at the time, also contributed to the growing scene.

Meanwhile, Ivana and Leandro were dancing Hustle occasionally and connecting with the international Hustle community world-wide. In 2020, during Covid, Ivana and a salsa teacher Jonas started taking private online lessons with Matus and Monika from Slovakia to deepen both their technique and teaching skills.

In 2022, HustleDance.nl was officially born and regular classes began. As the community kept growing, Yuwi and Astere joined the teaching team in 2025. Today, besides regular classes, we organize jams and go to parties together. We have also had the pleasure of sharing Hustle at festivals such as Notorious IBE, Summer Dance Forever, Lowlands, Amsterdam Roots Festival, and Amsterdam Open Air.

We are grateful to our neighboring communities in France and Germany for their support and collaboration, and excited to continue growing together in the years to come.

Our Method

Training for fluid, confident expression

We bypass traditional academy intimidation to focus on athletic rigor, anatomical safety, and artistic growth. Studio practice meets your home vault.

The Core Belief

We do not drill for mechanical perfection; we train for raw, rhythm-driven movement.

Every session combines rigorous anatomical alignment with creative autonomy, giving you the physical foundation to move on your own terms.

Professional Guidance

Led by rigorous practitioners

Our instructors are active choreographers and performers who prioritize structural safety as much as artistic growth. We break down complex kinetic transitions so you can build real, lasting muscle memory.

Through our digital home vault and direct suggestion loops, our teachers customize upcoming studio sessions around the specific challenges you share in your student dashboard.
