Join ATX Fusion at Balance Dance Studios (Studio 8 in the Bravo building) on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month!IMPORTANT INFO:
We are now hosting our events at Balance Dance Studios!
We are in Studio 8, which is located in Balance Dance Studios' Bravo building, just across the parking lot from their main building. The building we'll be in says "Bravo" on it. If the building says "Balance" on it and has a front desk, you're in the wrong place. If you're driving and using Google Maps, you can put in "Bravo Dance Theater, 4000 West Gate Blvd," but this won't work if you're taking a rideshare.
**May 5th: Blues Fusion w/ Josh Davis + DJs Alyssa & Sterling**
This week, the theme is Blues Fusion! Josh Davis will be teaching a Blues-focused class at 8pm, then DJs Alyssa & Sterling will play Blues Fusion themed sets. We know there are a lot of Blues dancers in our community, and we hope you'll turn out for this one :) But it's still a Fusion dance, so even if you're not a Blues dancer, please join us on the floor!
CLASS TOPIC: Cozy Close Embrace
CLASS DESCRIPTION: Close embrace connection is a foundational skill for Blues dancing. In this lesson we'll be exploring ways to connect in close with partners of all shapes and sizes. Join us in finding ways to connect that are comfortable and sustainable whether we're dancing in place or traveling across the floor.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Josh Davis was a Lindy Hopper in Bloomington, Indiana before Blues dancing stole his heart and soles in Chicago 13 years ago. As an instructor, Josh likes to focus on having fun, hearing the music, and discovering movement within your body.
SCHEDULE:
8pm: Class w/ Josh Davis
9-10pm: DJ Alyssa Kim
10-11pm: DJ Sterling Taylor
PRICING: $10 before 8:30pm, $15 from 8:30pm onward. Both card and cash are accepted at the door.
If you're feeling under the weather or ill, please don't attend! Take care of yourself, and avoid bringing a contagion to a crowded space and dance partners you care about.
PLEASE NOTE:
Venue does not permit alcohol. Please feel free to BYO other beverages, especially water, dancing is a physical activity after all!
Only soft-soled dance shoes, socks, or bare feet are allowed on the studio floor. Please do not wear street shoes, heels, or hard-heeled shoes on the studio floor, as they will damage it. Help us keep this beautiful venue in great shape!

WHAT IS FUSION DANCING?
Fusion is an improvisational partner dance where there's a lead and a follow that isn't confined to or defined by one style. Fusion dancers tend to be familiar with the basics of more than one partner dance (Blues, Tango, West Coast Swing, Brazilian Zouk, Lindy Hop, etc.)
Some examples of Fusion Dancing:
