Announcing the first ever Fusion Dance retreat at Breitenbush Hot Springs. Registration is now open! Lodging choices are first come, first served.
Immerse yourself in Fusion Dance and the soothing hot springs of Breitenbush! This retreat is a mix of instructional sessions and social dancing, designed to build skills and deepen community connections. Whether you come alone or with companions, the Fusion Dance community is warm and welcoming—and upholds a culture of consent & attunement.
This immersion is for a wide range of skill levels, from proficient beginner all the way to advanced. You should have some experience with Fusion Dance (a minimum of 6 Fusion dance lessons & practice, and basic understanding of partner frames and lead-follow) or solid experience in a framed partner form (Tango, Blues, Swing, Bachata, etc). Note: Contact Improv and/or Ecstatic Dance do not count as partner dance experience.
Breitenbush Fusion Immersion is a queer-led event, and supports non-normative gender roles on the dance floor.
We will occupy the whole Breitenbush property, with up to 80 participants (no personal retreats during the same weekend). All dances & other sessions will be held in the North Wing of the Lodge.
