Want to learn how to teach fusion, or other styles of partner dance? Join us for a workshop with Fen Lastra, organized jointly with QT Fusion Dance.
Fen Lastra is a tenured dance professor, an award-winning educator, and a full-time pedagogy nerd. Join them for a one-day partner dance teaching intensive, focusing on how to turn your skills into classes, and how to teach those classes successfully. Fen has run two highly sought-after trainings in San Francisco and Seattle, and their mentees have gone on to teach at weekenders all over the United States. This is a queer-led training that will center inclusive class design.

Fen is a fusion and Blues specialist, but other movement modalities are welcome! You do not need to have taught partner dance before, but you should have experience teaching something, even if it’s only informally.
Applications will be a mix of first-come-first-served and deliberate cohort building.
Applications received by 07/25 will be prioritized.
Cost:
Workshop: tiered pricing, 80/90/100, pay what you can afford. There's a place on the application to indicate if you need financial assistance to attend.
Dance: TBD
