What's fusion? It's improvised partner dance!
Take moody music, many different dance styles, and an inclusive and friendly group, mix, and invent your own dance to fit the music and your partner. Come to the workshop to find out more!
Fusion makes the most sense to folks who know at least one dance style well, but anyone is welcome who would respect our community.
We swap partners for each dance, so come alone or bring friends!
6:00 Doors open, social dance starts
6:10 Fusion dance workshop - Please come on time!
9:00 Dancing ends - cleanup - socialize more at Jeremiah's
The workshop will use the front end of the ballroom during the social.
If you're new to partner dancing, let us know when you arrive. We can teach you enough basics to enjoy the dance and the community.
