Welcome to the weird December edition of F'N! You'll probably be full of cheese, uncertain about the time or date, and burnt out from the Holidays, but we'll be dancing!
We've moved our event to Fridays to encourage more people to come on out and dance with us! We hope this change makes it easier to attend!
Doors: 5:45pm
Lesson: 6-7pm taught by Amie and Patrick
Social dancing: 7-10pm
Cost: sliding scale, 5-20$ (no one will be turned away for lack of funds) e-transfer is available.
Volunteers: if you would like to volunteer formally for a door shift please contact Patrick or Amie. If you would like to simply show up and be helpful, simply arive with willing hands.
Accessibility: the building is fully accessible with no steps. you will need to walk slightly uphill if you park in the parking lot
Covid: masks are not mandatory. Covid is still around and present though. We support anyone who would like to dance in a mask.
Parking: there is a parking lot beside the building just off of townsite Rd.
Busses: there is a #1 bus stop right beside the building.
Scents: The venue is a scent-free space. Please keep scents to a minimum to consider the space's requirements and people attending's sensitivities
Smoking: please just make sure that you are smoking far enough away from the door that the scent doesn't enter the building.
What is Fusion Dancing? Fusion is not really a style. It’s an idea, a philosophy, a way of being with ourselves and others, the music and movement, that allows a partner dance to be something unique and different every time. What would happen if you came to a partner dance with no expectations – just to listen and be heard? What would happen if you and your partner knew how to speak and listen the language of movement beyond patterns? What would happen if “leading” and “following” didn’t have to do with your gender? What would happen if the roles of “leading” and “following” blended together, flowing in and out of each other moment to moment?

We will shut off the music at 9:45pm and quickly set up the chairs again, our end time is a hard limit to respect the shelter below us.
