Some people are blessed with rhythm and other people have none. Some people pick up a new dance in a second and other people have to practice rigorously just to find the beat. Maybe you need to shake it in the privacy of your own home before you bust a move in public. Maybe you just want to learn a new step on your way to the club. Either way, a dance infographic is a surprisingly helpful hack for learning a new dance. You get the basics in colorful, easily digestible chunks that you can quickly memorize and mimic even if you don't have an ounce of rhythm (me!).

The Hustle is a classic, even in 2015. It's a notorious hit at weddings, but it's also a favorite at old-school dance clubs, where it's as funky as it's supposed to be. This is actually an album jacket, but it works pretty well as a guide to Hustling – plus it gives you some variations on the classic dance, so that's pretty awesome.

Hey, don't feel bad if you genuinely can't dance. It happens. Wifey can't dance. Girl even left me hanging at our wedding.
