The Dance Factory Tampa Bay presents disco Hustle lessons rooted in the authentic syncopated style that emerged from Latin communities in 1970s New York City.

Two levels are offered. The beginner class welcomes those new to the Hustle and emphasizes confidence on the floor, a strong rhythmic foundation, clear partner connection, and core figures such as the basic step and underarm turns. The intermediate class is designed for experienced dancers who are comfortable with all basics, diving into refined lead and follow, body mechanics, complex turning sequences, and polished footwork to enhance social dancing.

Pink Proud. Jeep Loud.
Tampa Bay’s Jeep community is uniting for a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, with Tampa Jeep Krewe teaming up with Pinellas County Jeep Club, Jeep Latino Tampa Bay, Jeep Girls of Florida, and Outkast Jeeperz to form a team. Jeeps will be decked out in pink, and reserved parking for Jeep vehicles is planned to keep the group together. The focus is on honoring survivors, remembering loved ones, and supporting those affected, with plenty of pink, big energy, shared laughs, and heartfelt moments. Walkers of all abilities are welcome, and there is no set pace. Trophies will be awarded, with categories to be announced. A limited-edition shirt celebrating Jeep pride and breast cancer awareness will be available for the first 150 team members who donate at least $25, to be worn at the event while supplies last and with attendance required. Support for this effort comes from sponsors including The Jeep Lab, The Paw Spa, Odyssey Fab, Rock Ready Offroad, Battle Bottle, Pinellas County Jeep Club, Red Scorpion, Jeep Flea Market, Naturescapes, Jeep Girls of Florida, Alpha Bravo Off-Road, STINGER, PARK ON 66, VISO JUVE, Czelusta Law, Christian Ramirez Designs, JEEP Beach, Tampa Rubber & Gasket, Specialty Powder Coating, and Sozio's Tree Service.
