When was the dance hustle made popular?

The hustle is a ballroom dance that originated in the South Bronx, New York City, during the 1970s, particularly among Puerto Rican and African-American communities from Latin boogaloo. It first rose to mainstream popularity after discothèques became prominent with an emphasis on "partner dancing.” It peaked around 1975 when an estimated ten million individuals worldwide regularly participated.
