𝑨𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏
Amber integrates her experience in somatics, neuroscience, and dance to connect with others through music and movement. She thinks of herself as an accidental DJ - encouraged by her dance partner to share her music selection with dancers out in the wild. And now she loves doing so! She likes her music the way she likes her dances: rich with story, texture, dynamic range, and emotion to foster connection on and off the dance floor. She teaches Fusion and Ballroom Dance, is a nuerodivergent advocate and coach, and DJ's. www.sensoryschool.org

𝑫𝒚𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒔
As a DJ my focus on any given evening is to tell a story. Every set I create is meant to be its own self-contained narrative arc, the building blocks of which are songs with complex lyrical content and/or varied instrumentality. I understand those are a lot of subjective terms, so linked below is a random sampling of songs I would play on a fusion floor that you might not have heard before. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7cFYrjwbhnYqaFSg1ikE5R?trackId=06r6PliBWKWsu5y7bRsXlG
Furthermore, on that profile is every fusion set I have played to date, in case you would like to research further into what my style is.

𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 & 𝑺𝒊𝒂
As a partnership, Mark and Sia value community building by sharing their passion for dancing. With a combined experience of 43 years of partner dancing and 37 years of teaching, they have developed a heartfelt approach to sharing dance and incorporate creative techniques to engage and inspire their students. Moved by music as a source of creative expression, Mark and Sia approach each dance as a new canvas to paint.
