Fusion Partner Dancing in Nelson 

What is it?

Improvised dancing in sync with a partner, to any music.

How does it work?

“Lead and Follow” enables a smooth synchronized connection; 

“Contextualizing” not “memorizing”  enables improvising together.

Is it hard to learn?

Not hard to learn.  It takes a bit of practice to get good, but

it is fun right from the beginning ! 

Why should I attend Monday evening ?  

• 1/2 hr. mini-lesson, with Peter
• 2 hours of dancing to mixed upbeat playlist.
• Personal coaching available by request during the evening.
• Competence and confidence increases quickly. Fast learning curve.
• Friendly, informal, chill, no partner necessary – very social.
• Exercise, socialize, improve and have fun all at once !
• Highly beneficial – see link below “Why partner dancing is good for you”
