[From my very limited knowledge of hustle, that clip isn't exactly 'classic' hustle - it's too strongly phrased (one way I recognize hustle music is "if I can't tell which beat is the '1', it might be hustle"!). I think the phrasing of the music in the BBC clip makes the dancing a little less smooth and continuous than a hustle should be. But to be honest, most hustle looks pretty like MJ to me].
I can't see that clip properly at work. It gets reduced to one frame a second. I could hear the description though. I don't know where they got the connection between Hustle and Swing, because Hustle is directly descended from Salsa.

It is going to be interesting to see who teaches it, and what they teach. I don't watch any of the BBC3 programs - do they show the dancers actually learning the dance?
