Join us for another great night of connection, creativity and play as we fuse together all our dance backgrounds into one amazing social dance!
✨πŸͺ˜πŸ§žβ€β™‚️
What is fusion?
Fusion is a partnered dance that combines many movement styles, whether it's swing, blues, salsa, zouk, tango, ballroom, bachata, etc. Aside from issues related to consent or safety, in fusion dancing there is no such thing as "doing it wrong”. This freedom is ideal for enhancing connection (as there are no standard moves that can be anticipated), unlocking creativity, and exploring play. Fusion is a conversation style dance, where both leads and follows take turns listening to each other’s input. Anyone is welcome to lead or follow regardless of gender. It is centered on connection and improvisation, and it can take numerous forms depending on the combination of music and dance partners. Fusion is ideal for shaking up your patterns and stepping into the unknown, as well as shifting out of your head and into your body.
No partner needed, and while some experience with partner dancing is encouraged, all experience levels are welcome.
πŸ•°οΈ Schedule:
7:30 - Intro to Fusion Lesson
8:30-12:30 - Social Dance

πŸŽ‰ Theme: (optional)
It is my absolute pleasure to introduce the Mardi Gras theme:
πŸŽ­βšœοΈπŸ“ΏπŸ¦žπŸŽŠ 🎷🫘🐊
Come celebrate Mardi Gras with us a few weeks early, in true New Orleans fashion.
I can truly think of no theme that better embodies the fusion spirit - bringing out creativity, play, and fostering connection across communities ✨
Not sure what a Mardi Gras theme means?Come in your favorite party attire!
The funkier the better πŸ₯Έ
Consider this a formal invite for you to bring out that β€œI have nothing to wear this to” piece. Think Halloween costumes meets festival/concert meets funky vintage treasures. Get creative! Get weird!
Quite literally, all things fit into this theme - and when in doubt… wearing purple, green, or gold are always a solid back up!
πŸ’΅ Price:
$15
Interested in volunteering for free entry? Message me for opportunities 😊
We kindly remind you that since we all have various dancing backgrounds, not everyone is used to or comfortable with the same types of dancing connections. Try your best to make every dance consensual and comfortable for both partners. 🫢
Also, this will be a casual potluck style event. We’ll be cooking up some NOLA favorites and would love if you can bring something to share β—‘Μˆ

Hope you can join us!!
