For the new folks (welcome!!!! we're STOKED you're here!!):
Nectar Fusion Playground is a queer-led, culture-shaping space to explore creative expression and connection through the improvisational form of fusion partner dance, and beyond!

Here, we invite
~ dancing together free of normative gender roles (you do you, boo!)
~ honoring the function of form (come take a class!) to enjoy safe movement play and be mindful of our bodies in space
~ challenging ourselves to cultivate our dance skill from whatever level we're at (ALL are welcome)
~ prioritizing attunement, play and relating (vs transacting)
~ taking care of ourselves & each other
~ practicing radical, enthusiastic consent
~ co-creating an inclusive and courageous environment to be real in
~ get juiced SO THAT we can continue to do the hard work of building a better world

This event features awesome teachers and DJs, live instrumentals, a communal tea table and dance mats to take your partner fusion craft to the floor.

** the Beginner/Refresher class now happens *during* the beginning of the first DJ set upstairs in the mezzanine. It starts when the announcements end. Daniel lives with immunocompromised folks, to protect them, please wear a mask when attending this class. Thank you for your community care!
This lesson is for anyone new to partner dancing or wanting to work on their fundamentals.
