It's our next event in Corvallis! Our Fusion Dance venue is unique—be sure to read our community agreements (listed below) before attending. Also, please note that our particular vibe is on the sultry side—the music will be a varied mix of modern downtempo & midtempo beats.
Fusion Dance is simply fusing your movement with any dance partner to any music. It is improvisational—there is no choreography or "right and wrong" moves, as long as you are attuned to both your partner and the music. It welcomes elements from Blues Dance, Tango, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, Waltz, other ballroom dances, and even Contact Improv.
This event is for all levels, from beginners to skilled Fusion dancers. To ensure we are all dancing with the same fundamentals and floorcraft, it is highly recommended to attend the 7:15pm lesson unless you already have solid experience in fusion dance or a framed partner dance form (Note: Contact Improv is not framed partner dance). Plan your arrival so that you have time to park and get settled in before the lesson begins.
Unique to Corvallis: We have a large separate area designated for "solo dance". So you can switch between partner dancing and solo (ecstatic-style) dancing as you prefer. While "solo space" is not normally a part of fusion dance culture, we find it supports a more inclusive experience.
We will also be providing a comfortable chill space, so you can take dance breaks, socialize, and get snuggly with friends.

OUR COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS
⦾ No Street Shoes: We encourage bare feet, socks, or dance paws! Non-marking soft-soled shoes or ballroom shoes are also acceptable. No shoes that have been worn on the street and no boots.
⦾ Don't Spread Covid: Masks are optional and welcome. Do not attend if you have ANY symptoms of respiratory illness or had direct exposure to covid in the last week.
⦾ Honor Fusion Floorcraft: Floorcraft is basic dance navigation and etiquette, with an emphasis on avoiding collisions. For everyone's safety, rolling on the ground and lifting/flying are not permitted in this space. Please join us because you want to improvise in a grounded partner frame (rather than straight-up Contact Improv).
⦾ Be Inclusive: All are welcome. We dance free of normative gender roles.
⦾ Be Clear Minded: We dance free of alcohol and other inebriating substances.
⦾ Be Clean: Please arrive fresh with a clean body and clothes, as some of us are very sensitive to strong body odors or any scented products (including essential oils).
