SPECIAL BONUS WEEK 5: A Starling Mumuration. Become a fluid synchronized part of the dance floor!!! Come to this class for an expanded spatial awareness and a totally new perspective on the joy of floorcraft. You'll learn how you're able to naturally move in sync with the dancers and the world around you! This is hands down my favorite class and it’s great for ALL LEVELS! Bring your dance friends. You’ll never think of Spatial Awareness or Floorcraft as boring again!

Natalie Silva
Natalie started her dance journey in 2016 with Waltz & Irish Ceili before stumbling upon Fusion Dancing. She loves creating eclectic sets that bring people in, finding new ways to entertain the floor, and taking dancers on a musical adventure 🎶
Ren Enby
Hello! I'm a queer, POC human who loves good vibey music that carries a steady beat, and just enough polyrhythmic layering to allow for playful dance banter between you and your partner. Dancing, facilitating, and DJ'ing Fusion is my favorite thing to do in life, so I'm happy to share my favorite tunes with y’all. I have a pretty broad pallet ranging from Afrobeats to Neo-tango to Fusion classics and I love giving the floor the occasional challenge and keeping y'all ready for something new. Hope you like what I have to offer 😉
