NOTE: This is a fast, high energy dance, with very quick footwork, done in double time. Take VERY small steps! Begin the dance on the first word, 16 bass beats after the drum roll. The bass beat is 92 BPM, the snare drum is at 184 BPM. You will count the bass beat and dance to the snare drum beat... that's why we like to say "You WILL hustle!"
