**October 6th: Zouk Fusion with Amy Morrow & Krystyna Lopez**
Amy will teach a Zouk themed class at 8pm, then she and Krystyna will step into the DJ booth with sets that will be Zouk-able but also suitable for many other dance styles!
CLASS TOPIC: TBD
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Amy Morrow is a master teacher, choreographer, and festival producer. As Executive Director of Fisterra, she manages sponsored projects such as The Theorists, Draw Together, XYZ Atlas, REST Fest, and has produced 100+ movement workshops worldwide.
Morrow's quest is the ever-evolving conversational nature of dance and experiencing partner dance as the anthropological art of hugging. Her first impressions of social dance were learning Lindy Hop from her Grandparents at the family farm, Blues in living rooms throughout a warzone, Salsa at a Garba house party in Jackson, Mississippi, and Bachata on a rooftop in Ahmedbhad, Kizomba with We Can Dance Blind in Dallas. Since April 2023, she has thrown herself into Brazilian Zouk with her eyes closed and arms wide open every day, multiple times a day, in whatever city she is in. She finds a sense of belonging wherever she is in the world through movement and seeks to see magic in the mundane.
SCHEDULE:
8pm: Class with Amy Morrow

PRICING: $10 before 8:30pm, $15 from 8:30pm onward. Both card and cash are accepted at the door.
LOCATION:
We are now hosting our events at Balance Dance Studios! We are in Studio 8, which is located in Balance Dance Studios' Bravo building, just across the parking lot from their main building. The building we'll be in says "Bravo" on it. If the building says "Balance" on it and has a front desk, you're in the wrong place. If you're driving and using Google Maps, you can put in "Bravo Dance Theater, 4000 West Gate Blvd," but this won't work if you're taking a rideshare.
PLEASE NOTE:
Venue does not permit alcohol. Please feel free to BYO other beverages, especially water, dancing is a physical activity after all!
Only soft-soled dance shoes, socks, or bare feet are allowed on the studio floor. Please do not wear street shoes, heels, or hard-heeled shoes on the studio floor, as they will damage it. Help us keep this beautiful venue in great shape!
If you're feeling under the weather or ill, please don't attend! Take care of yourself, and avoid bringing a contagion to a crowded space and dance partners you care about.

WHAT IS FUSION DANCING?
Fusion is an improvisational partner dance where there's a lead and a follow that isn't confined to or defined by one style. Fusion dancers tend to be familiar with the basics of more than one partner dance (Blues, Tango, West Coast Swing, Brazilian Zouk, Lindy Hop, etc.)
Some examples of Fusion Dancing:
