    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”

    Bi-Weekly Monday Fusion Partner Dancing !

    7:00 – 7:30 pm  mini-lesson, all levels. Improvising, lead & follow

    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.
