💖 At this event, dancers of all styles are invited to come together and experience the magic of freestyle partner dancing. If you can partner dance, you can dance fusion!
What is fusion?*
✨ Fusion gets its name from fusing different styles of partner dance. Dancers draw upon their techniques from Ballroom, Bachata, Blues, Forro, Kizomba, Lindy Hop, Salsa, Tango, West Coast Swing, Zouk, etc. to dance together to different kinds of music.
✨ It’s all about connecting to your partner and the music in the moment and seeing what happens.
✨It’s playful, it’s experimental. It’s really, really fun.
✨ It’s a lovely opportunity for us to bring different partner dance communities together under one roof.
💞 It's also a chance to shake off any unwanted baggage from other dance cultures. A key value of this event is that dance has no gender! We don't assume that someone leads or follows because of what they look like. Switching is highly encouraged.
💞 Consent culture will be highly prioritized at this event.
Please be kind to each other. If in doubt, talk it out!

💃🎵 We'll kick off the evening with a taster class in Forró. Then our DJ will get us moving with tracks ranging from slow and squishy to high-energy bangers.
THE TASTER CLASS
This dance event fully embraces the idea that if you and your partner are having fun, you’re doing it right! Fusion dancing does not have to use any one particular technique. With that said, it's also fun to learn new things! This month will we have a taster class in Forró. Forró is a lively Brazilian partner dance characterized by close embrace, rhythmic footwork, and spins, typically danced to accordion-driven music with strong beats, originating from the northeast of Brazil.

🎟️ TICKETS
For this event we have a sliding scale of 75, 100 or 150 DKK. If you can't afford to contribute financially, please come anyway! There is an option to select a free ticket when you sign up.
💖 If you have the spare cash and feel passionate about fusion, the higher amount is especially helpful so that more events can be planned.
An explanation of where your money goes:
75 DKK - this is the minimum per person that should hopefully cover the venue costs.
100 DKK - this allows the teachers and DJs to be compensated.
150 DKK - this lets the organiser be paid a small something for their time and keep arranging more events.
*This is a super brief explanation! There are lots of different definitions of fusion out there. If you’re interested in learning more, Flouer Evelyn’s article on the “Fusion Continuum” is a great place to start:
