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: Fusing Bachate, Merengue, & EastCoast Swing with Uriel Gavito
8-9pm: DJ Uriel Gavito
9-10pm: Dj Katie Rose
10-11pm: Dj J.Colby
**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: Fusing Bachate, Merengue, & East Coast Swing
CLASS DESCRIPTION: Uriel Gavito will be leading a Fusion class with an emphasis on merging Bachata, Meregue, & Swing (east coast or west coast?). In this class he'll lead some foundational concepts of each style, and teach fun, easy ways they overlap & reinforce each other. With a strong emphasis on dance connection & musicality, we'll also be shown fail safe ways to reconnect with our dance partners inside the music & exploration. This class is suitable for beginner to advanced dancers, as Uriel has variations prepared for a variety of experience levels.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Uriel learned to dance at UT Austin through the university’s social dance course, where he explored many partner styles and fell in love with fusion as a way to unite them. Since departing UT, he's continued to explore & teach dance in various opportunities, and has recently returned to Austin. Through Free Flow Fusion, his passion-driven dance project, he teaches with an emphasis on musicality, connection, and fun, believing that dance is a healing practice for all bodies.
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.)
