Fusion Connection presents back to back beginner and intermediate Fusion partner dance workshops! Anna Durga and Alex Coffman return as your instructors.Fusion partner dance is a dance form without borders. Fusion has no predetermined steps or patterns unlike every other partner dance out there. It's where partner dance is stripped down to the most essential parts, and rebuilt in a new way every dance. This is where all partner dance styles meet!
You do not need to bring a partner with you. The class will rotate partners. Bring comfortable support shoes that have minimal tread, or hard bottoms. Bring a water bottle, drinking fountains are located outside the dance studio.
The beginner workshop is for you if you've never done partner dancing before, or even have a bit of experience. It's also for those with a background in another partner dance form who want to experience the melting pot of Fusion dance. It's for experienced dancers who want to switch their usual lead/follow dance role up and learn the other side.
The intermediate workshop is for dancers with some experience in partner dance. It's also for people who felt confident in the beginner workshop and would like to keep learning. You will have the option to add the intermediate workshop after the beginner event.
