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”

Why Partner Dancing is Good For You
ReferencesfromPsychologyToday, Jan 2023
- Builds strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance;
- Impacts mood, happiness, and resilience;
- Enhances memory, orientation, and concentration.
- When we synchronize to a beat, our brains release cocktails of “happy chemicals” of endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, etc. Humans feel more aware, alive, and resourceful, and more able to push through fear and tolerate pain.
