By 'right,' I mean you can never be on the wrong foot if you have a move in store. Most of the time in Fusion dance we dance in a mirrored scenario, meaning that if the leader is on their right foot the follower is on their left. But what if you are both on the same foot? In Tango this known as Cross System. This month we will be exploring getting in and out of cross system and a variety of very cool moves that only can be found from there. We will be borrowing a few ideas from Tango, but will be dancing pure Fusion!
In the first class we will be honing your senses and supercharging your legs and connection so that you always know what leg your partner is on. From there we will be moving in and out of cross system with ease and great transitions.
While this class isn't required to take the other October classes, it's going to be a huge key to creating big success over the month!

Pomona grew up dancing Lindy Hop on the west coast of Canada (but sneaking out of her parents' place in high school to go to ​blues and fusion parties).
She pulls inspiration from a multitude of unexpected places: ​contact ​improvisation, ​clowning​,​ and her experience working in the film industry as a dancer. Her dance is playful, rhythmic and raw, with an emphasis on improvisation, and a deep allegiance to musicality and expression.

Tony (He/Him) has spent a decade in the fusion scene traveling across the country (mainly in California and now in Seattle) to hear, record, and DJ moments of musical magic (MoMM). He tends to play variety and sometimes hits themes, but in every set you can almost always expect moments for solidarity, familiarity, collaborative chaos (trolling), and throwdowns.

Tony Sciscio (He/Him, Seattle) has spent 15 years learning swing, blues, and other dances to meld into Fusion. He values the basics as much as he does the fancy hacks, and teaches concepts with the goal to provide any leveled dancer with foundations for safety, confidence, and fun.
𝔼𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕪 𝕎𝕖𝕓𝕓
Emily Webb began her love affair with partner dancing in 1996. Starting out as a Lindy Hopper, through the years she danced through Tango, Salsa, Blues, and finally Fusion dance. Today, Fusion and Tango remain her greatest dance loves. Emily teaches Tango and Fusion across North America, and she is the co-creator of Mission Fusion. While Emily loves to geek out on technique she also believes learning should be experiential and fun! Her classes create a positive environment to explore human relationship, movement and expression in dance partnership. Get ready to play, get geeky, laugh, learn and delve deep into the world of partner dance!
