Thank you everyone for the amazing turnout for our return event in May. We hope you'll join us again in June!Melty Micro has a new home: LA AcroDancers! The studio is owned by a lovely woman who has been incredibly supportive of all things dance/partner dance, and we are so grateful that she is welcoming Micro next!
Micro, often short for microfusion, is a style of partner dance that focuses on using "micro" movements and a strong connection with our partner to allow ourselves to melt deeply into the music. While there is no official basic step for micro, dancers often rely on synced breath, tiny weight shifts, body isolations, and changing energy levels to further embody the music.
For our friends who haven't been to a micro event - if you've been to a late-night zouk, blues, kizomba, or similar event, you'll feel right at home!
This is a micro-only event, so leave your grand movements at home, and bring your grand musicality, isolations, and artistic spirit!
Schedule:
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Micro-focused Class: Authentically Micro
Building on this month's theme of Authenticity, this class will draw from the practice known as Authentic Relating, which aims to create stronger communication and connection. We will adapt several principles and exercises to the dance and micro space to encourage that melty goodness we all love!

FAQ:
Anything I should be aware of about the space?
Please be respectful of the space! Most importantly, please do not touch the mirrors, and do protect the floor by wearing flats or wide heels. No spiked heels!
Food/drink?
There is a small lobby where you can eat food you've brought. Please no food or drink besides water in the studio. Water will be available for refilling water bottles (no water bottles will be provided, please bring your own!).
Parking?
We recommend parking on Robertson if available. Though if you need to park on a side street, we are happy to help you find someone to walk you back to your car! If you do park on a side street, please be mindful of noise as the studio is in a quiet neighborhood. Finally, if you generally feel safe walking in LA, please consider leaving closer spots available for those who do not.
