Dance Is Life returns to Asbury Park for the second annual North to Shore Festival in New Jersey, in collaboration with Asbury Park Dance Festival, to provide a FREE Latin Hustle lesson followed by a social dance party at the historic Carousel Building at the Asbury Park Boardwalk—an iconic location for this iconic dance.
Dance Is Life is an intergenerational dance party that honors the tradition of Latin Hustle being danced in public spaces, while welcoming other dance styles and igniting a diverse space for exchange and creativity. Latin Hustle is a partner dance that originated in the South Bronx in the early 1970s, created predominantly by Puerto Rican and Black teenagers, that defies traditional gender norms where any gender can lead or follow—even role swap—and celebrates its LGBTQ+ innovators.
Dance Is Life FREE for the public. All ages, dance styles and dance levels are welcome!
