*** Masks are optional. ???????????? ??? ????????.***There is still time to get in on this month's fun intermediate series with A'lan and Anđela, ???????????? ?????? ??????? ????? ????? (see their description and schedule of topics below)!!
???????????? ?????? ??????? ????? ?????:
Let’s face it... you’re a fusion dancer. You love fusion. And you chose fusion to be free. You don’t want to learn through rigid progressions and patterns. You want to break the rules! You want to play and explore. So let's do it! Let’s become better dancers as we play.
All month, we’re diving into games in this fun format. Step 1: Learn the rules. Step 2: Dance the rules. Step 3: Share learnings. Step 4: Switch roles and repeat.
Each class session will have games to explore different technical aspects of fusion dance, enriched by supplemental energetic concepts to deepen your embodied exploration. The energetic descriptions—Yin, Yang, Earth, Fire, Spirit, and Water—are designed to enhance your understanding of the soft skills and internal qualities we’ll cultivate as dancers and community members. Yin represents receptivity and grounding, Yang symbolizes action and expansion, Earth embodies stability and presence, Fire brings intensity and passion, Spirit connects us to higher awareness and attunement, and Water signifies fluidity and emotional depth.

???? ?????? has been dancing for almost 12 years, she started in East Coast Swing but very quickly moved into Blues then Fusion - her true love is Micro Fusion. In those 12 years Kate learned to DJ at the SBF Late Night under the great DJ Wiggles (Ricci Adams) and slowly started to branch out to other venues. She has also helped host parties, she’s taught beginner basics through to the intricacies of Micro and she was even an organizer for another Bay Area dance venue.
Kate tends to play a mixture of old and new centering around rhythm, musicality and bassy backbones. Some of her favorite artists are Stateless, Oh Wonder, Bishop Briggs and Two Feet to name a few. This’ll be her first time back DJing at a social dance since early 2019, prepare yourselves for a set filled with gooey, micro and classic Fusion songs!

Jess has been fusion dancing since 2013 and fell in love with the embodied, meditative, and conversational nature of partner dance. They started teaching fusion in 2021 out of a desire to dance with their housemates during lockdown and have since taught at various arts festivals and social gatherings. With extensive teaching experience as a climbing coach and academic TA, Jess loves identifying themes of movement and breaking them down into small, digestible, practicable pieces. As a fusion teacher, they encourage dancers to play and explore axis within a given technique to find the balance that’s fit for their style. They love facilitating experiences where people can feel connected and confident in their bodies.
