    About…

    Fusion Partner Dancing

    Fusion dancing is a fun and satisfying way to enhance your partner dancing. 

    Fun because the learning curve is fast, and satisfying because improvisation allows for original dances to any kind of music. 

    Fusion is about blending dance styles and improvising in sync to any rhythm and to any music.

    Instead of strict patterns, Fusion dances are mashups of many different social dance movements, patterns, and techniques that dancers can use to spontaneously create unique interpretations for any moment in any song. 

    Let the music and partnership move you, not necessarily the patterns and constraints of any one particular dance.  

    Fusion dancers can draw basics from any dance while improvising.  This makes the dance original and personally based on each dancer, the partnership, and the music.

    See you on the dance floor – Peter
