Music has been a large part of Shelley’s life, but it was dance that reinvigorated this love. She is a regular blues, lindy and balboa dancer. She also enjoys tango, micro and kizomba. Her first love will always be Fusion as it is the dance that allows for the culmination of the rich traditions of so many dance forms. She performs for private dance events in the Bay Area and has performed at jazz and indie festivals in Malaysia and Singapore. As a DJ, she pays homage to blues-fusion, can be sentimental at times, and wants to make your bootie jive to fun rhythms and good songwriting that you might catch yourself singing to.

Kenya Soul, hailing from the Bay Area, draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of hip hop, Lindy Hop, blues, and occasionally anime. His teachings are rooted in improvisation, connection, and musicality, breathing life into stories through movement. He seeks to build bridges between divergent communities through shared artistic language, which is how he found his home in Fusion. His Black-experience-centered philosophy sits at the heart of all of his and Pomona's lessons. Together, they create a clear, play-focused, and light-hearted teaching environment where students are often surprised with their own creative prowess.
