April Fools Sunday Social!Who's foolin? We'll see what these fabulous 3 Dj's bring to the dancefloor for us!
We'll start the nite with a Fusion Fundamentals class with our own J.Colby leading. This is a great class for folks new to fusion, or old hands who'd like a refresher on basics. Classes are also a great way to get introductions with other dancers before the social is in full swing :)
Join ATX Fusion at Balance Dance Studios (Studio 10 in the Bravo building) on the 1st Sunday of each month! We offer a class at 7pm, followed by DJ'd dancing from 8-11pm.

ATX Fusion is now a monthly event taking place every first Sunday! We offer a class at 7pm, followed by DJ'd dancing from 8-11pm. We're still in Balance Dance Studios' Bravo building, but we're trying out Studio 10 down the hall, which has a different vibe and a nook with comfortable seating--come check it out!
SCHEDULE:
7pm: Class: Fusion Foundations with J.Colby
8-9pm: Dj Tracy
9-10pm: Dj Patricia
10-11pm: Dj Emi
**PRICING**
Sliding scale: $10-25. We accept card, cash, or Venmo at the door.
We believe in making our events accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation, so our scale begins at $10. We also want to offer reasonable pricing options for those who can only join us for part of the night. However, we really encourage you to pay at least $15 if you are able, so that we can maintain the quality of the event 🙏
CLASS TOPIC: Fusion Foundations
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
While each Fusion dancer draws from their own individual dance background, there are structural basics that facilitate better non-verbal dance communication, and there are ways of building deeper dance floor connections. In Fusion, we often don’t share the same dance ‘vocabulary’ as dancers with other backgrounds. Without this vocabulary, we rely on our dance connections and non-verbal communication almost entirely to co-create our experiences together.
We’ll talk about core aspects of how to find our way to surprising dance floor creations and shared musical flow states—dance frames, personal comfort, tone matching our partners in frame and through dance moves, active listening in both roles, and how to step into the first dance with someone new. If you’re new to Fusion dancing, this class will help you feel more comfortable dancing in this unique environment. If you’ve been a Fusion dancer for a while, this class will be a great refresher!
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
J. Colby’s first partner dance love was Argentine Tango, where he learned his appreciation for dance principles. Eventually, he dabbled in teaching beginner lessons in tango. He has taught in various dance styles over the years, but since 2018, he’s been focused on Fusion. He leans on his strong background of teaching martial arts when teaching any physical art, and while the skills in our dance classes are more about harmony than conflict, the classes still benefit from these methods.
LOCATION:
We host our events at Balance Dance Studios! We are in Studio 10, 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.
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!
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.

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:
