DANCERS: MARK & SIA
As a partnership, Mark and Sia value community building by sharing their passion for dancing. With a combined experience of 43 years of partner dancing and 37 years of teaching, they have developed a heartfelt approach to sharing dance and incorporate creative techniques to engage and inspire their students. Moved by music as a source of creative expression, Mark and Sia approach each dance as a new canvas to paint.
Mark & Sia come to us from the Bay, where they both teach and mentor at the Fusion Dance Academy.
~ Fusion Immersion Workshop with Sia & Mark ~
Sia & Mark will take us through an arc of learning for the day, conveying Fusion principles and technique catered especially for the Pulse scene, suitable for beginners and helpful for all-levels! This will be lots of fun!
These Pulse workshop days bring together mindfulness, energetic attunement, partner dance skills, and many of the things you likely love about Fusion dance already, including that juicy bass music.
Classes are meant to bring dancers of different levels together, and be accessible to all. The main point: IT’S ABOUT CONNECTION.
Class themes & descriptions TBA!

MUSIC: FEVERKIN
Feverkin is the musical alias and primary studio project of Adam Orfale, who creates instrumentally forward downtempo dance music by collaging organic sounds.
He has shared the stage alongside artists like Frameworks, Yaima, and Desert Dwellers, and at events such as Backwoods Music Festival, Bay Area Microfusion and Recess.
In the last ten years, his music has mixed various electronic styles with strong emotional and cinematic sounds, creating a unique blend of melody and rhythm while keeping his classical background.
Feverkin is working on a new album, "Through the Night, into the Morning." It will have two parts featuring both ambient, flowing songs and upbeat tracks.

What is PULSE Partner Dance Collective?
Together we are cultivating a vibrant, thriving community of partner dancers, welcoming in your expressive, authentic, connective movement to fuse with one another and the hottest of beats for a dynamic evening of dance! Our gatherings are for anyone ready to connect in partnership on the dance floor and our events will adapt and grow as we all build trust and inspiration together!!
Events
We are based out of Sebastopol, CA and aim to connect partner dancers in Sonoma County, CA and beyond. For the past year+, PULSE has been regularly hosted at Green Valley, on a dance floor located in a beautiful converted barn, surrounded by redwoods and that magical West County feel!
Opportunities to Learn
We are committed to growing, harmonizing, and exchanging ideas in connective movement. We invite you to cultivate your skills in communication, consent, nonverbal cues, and partnered dance movement and will be offering support via lessons before events - our own, and before other dances in the Sonoma County, CA region.
JOIN US ON THIRD THURSDAYS THROUGHOUT 2025! We gather to dance at the Barn on Green Valley Rd.
