Back by popular demand, our Dancing in the Dark theme is returning for our September dance. For part of the night, we will be dancing blindfolded. Blindfold dancing is an excellent way to practice listening to your partner's tone and cues and an exciting way to partner dance without ever knowing your partner. The rest of the night will be spent un-blindfolded so you can see how as you dance with more people you and the room begin to glow more.

What
Fusion Partner Dancing is an ever-evolving dance style that pulls from various dance styles, cultures, and techniques. This creates a unique dance with each partner as you fuse your styles with your partner and the music. Never danced before? No worries, ALL skill levels are welcome.
Music
We enjoy dancing to all types of music. If it makes you want to move, you might hear it here. Afro-Beats, Blues, Latin, Alt-electronic music, remixes, covers and mash-ups all find a home in Fusion Dancing events. Tunes by the likes of Marian Hill, Glass Animals, Burna Boy, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Massive Attack, and so many others. You can listen to some examples here
