ABOUT BILLY & JAMI:
Billy is one of the original New York Hustle dance stars of the 1970s. He was instrumental in the development of the Hustle dance form from its inception in the nightclubs during the 1970s, to its current social and competitive styles of today. He is commonly referred to amongst Hustle dance aficionados as being the "Godfather of Hustle", and is the only one of a handful of original Hustle dance stars to still be actively teaching and performing on a worldwide level today.

To keep the spirit of the dance alive, and to further its development, Billy and Katie chartered the not-for-profit governing body for the Hustle dance world, the International Hustle Dance Association (IHDA).

This syllabus is the product of 35 years of dancing, teaching, competing and performing Hustle for Billy Fajardo, and 30 years for Katie Marlow. This syllabus is Billy's legacy to the world of dance, and he is delighted to present it to the DVIDA family.
