Why do we dance fusion? For many, the answer is “connection.” But what exactly is connection?
At this retreat, we’ll explore the idea of connection through movement, games, sharing, working alongside each other, and of course, lots of dancing. We won’t find all the answers, but together, we can skim the crème.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS WEEKEND?
🛌An all-inclusive sleep-away experience with privacy— rooms with just 2-4 beds.
🥱A schedule that ends around midnight! If you ever dreamed of a fusion weekend that prioritizes sleep and well-being, your dream has come true.
🗓️3 hours of all-group dance and connection activities on Saturday and Sunday.
🧑🏽‍🎤4 total hours of beginner-friendly fusion dance classes with Flouer Evelyn, plus higher-level classes with other teachers.
🛟Optional mentorship for beginners: get paired with a more experienced dancer.
🍽️Community powered: everyone contributes 1-2 hours of kitchen help or clean-up.
🚝 Optional Thursday night arrival with a DIY Friday.
🏞️A beautiful, swimmable river within walking distance.

WHAT'S OUR VISION? 👀
If you can’t tell by the name, the theme for this weekend is “How do we connect?” This includes both on and off the dance floor. We’ll be offering plenty of non-dancing games and skill shares as well as social dance time and classes.
Many festivals prioritize catering to dancers who have a few years of dancing under their belt, but at this festival our goal is to connect with everyone! We want to welcome new dancers into the fusion community by offering a class track specifically for them, alongside other classes for more experienced dancers. This event is perfect for your friend who you’ve been dying to introduce to your vibrant world of fusion dancing.
