Description:

• Herc steps lively in a whimsical sendup of the movie "Strictly Ballroom". Upon entering the town of Rhumba, "the dance capital of Greece," Our Hero meets a forlorn woman who's desperate to enter a ballroom-dancing contest, but doesn't have a partner. Ever the gentleman, Herc obliges her. That doesn't sit well with the town's evil magistrate, whose niece has won three years in a row-- and whose henchmen usually keep things going his way. While Herc handles the goons easily, there's another problem: he can't dance. Michael Hurst dons a dress to play Herc's dance teacher, the flamboyant Widow Twanky.
• Hercules enters a dance competition to help a young woman in desperate need of a dance partner.
• Herc volunteers his terpischorean services to a young woman in need of a dance partner in a sendup of the movie "Strictly Ballroom."
• Hercules two-steps his way into the Panathenaia to help a teenager fulfill her dream of winning the cutthroat dance competition.
• Hercules enters a dance competition with a wallflower who really, really wants to win.
• Hercules reluctantly agrees to enter a dance competition, despite the fact that he doesn't know how to dance.

The Widow Twanky, once again on top of the dance world with the success of the Hercules Hustle, was not harmed or tripped during the production of this motion picture.
