✨Dear Dancers & Fusion Lovers✨The next monthly Fusion dance event will be on Friday 13/11 from 6.45 to 10.30 PM and it will be a DANCE FOR JUSTICE edition ! Next event : 11/12
🌟 A few words about DANCE FOR JUSTICE : It’s an initiative of Fusion dancing Europe where together, we embody a future where consent is culture, accountability is the norm, and everyone has the right to move freely without fear.
We dance in protest of rape culture — a culture that normalizes violence, silences survivors, and devalues consent. We reject the myths, the silence, and the systems that perpetuate sexual harm. In their place, we move with intention, with joy, and with fierce compassion. Through the vibrant, inclusive energy of Fusion dance, we create space where bodies are celebrated, boundaries are respected, and community thrives in safety and solidarity. We dance not just for ourselves — but for the world we are building.
🌟 A fundraising is being organized during this evening. All the money raised will be given to Garance, a non-profit association focuses on everything that one can do before violence emerges – to prevent that it emerges. Through their actions they tackle the risk factors that make certain population groups more vulnerable for violence, particularly women. For more info : www.garance.be/en/
🎼Program of the evening :
💫 Opening of the door : 6.35 PM
💫 6.45 to 8 PM : Sharing circle & Practice Lab
This month, as part of the DANCE FOR JUSTICE initiative, I propose a new type of activity : a practice lab based on a sharing circle. The idea is to start from your concrete experiences, your questions and your needs regarding topics such as consent, setting and expressing your limits,… More broadly, all topics that are important to you will be welcome. The idea is to share what can make you uncomfortable but also what questions you in your experience of dance and to find and try together practical ways to regain control over a situation and also receive new ideas, different points of view and the tips and tricks of the others... I imagine it as as a moment of co-creation, sharing, reflection, and mutual help.
I’d like to thank Cédric for kindly sharing the content of the workshop he led last year on the subject of consent, which I could share with you if it’s relevant to the topics discussed.
At the end of the workshop, you will be invited to contribute to the fundraising for the association Garance which is committed to preventing gender-based and sexual violence.

🌟 For the Newbies -> What is Fusion dance ?
Fusion is a partner dance that combines many movement styles. It’s centered on connection, creativity, and improvisation. As it’s a cocreation, it can take numerous forms depending on the combination of music and dance partners. All dancing backgrounds and experiences are welcome. The style of music is very varied. You dance with who you want, there’s no gendered or normative approach, so no predefined role. Each dancer can lead, follow or alternate roles in an organic and intuitive way (switch). Consent is also one of the basis of Fusion, so always check that your partner is comfortable with the option offered (distance, pace, dips and lifts...). Let’s have fun ! 🤩
