Fusion Dance: Is a free-style form of partner dance drawing on lots of different types of movement, dance and music. Imagine it like ballroom, but without gender roles or set steps. Instead, we take the very tools that make dancing together work, like momentum, groove, pulse, stretch and compression, and co-create the dance within ourselves, with our partner(s) and the music. You can dance solo, in pairs or in a group. You choose how fast or slow, how close or spacious you wish to dance. Consent plays a major role in Fusion Dance.

Fusion Dance is ever evolving, hence, there is no firm definition. It depends on who you ask and more importantly, it is what you make of it.My Fusion Dance: Is about choice. Not right or wrong. In each class, we make a choice to focus on one aspect. This does not make the alternatives wrong. Focussing on one aspect can develop tools, vocabulary and many fun ways of playing and interacting on (and off!) the dance floor.

My teaching is informed by radical body positivity, freedom of choice, consent, authentic relating, embodiment, and partner dances such as Blues, Swing, Contact Improvisation, Tango, Zouk and Latin. I am a health and development psychologist and a movement, dance and intimacy facilitator.

Collaboration: Please get in touch if you’d like to teach, DJ, co-host, or collaborate in any other way like decorations, snacks, tidy-up, promotion, etc.
