Back to Dance! Melting Pot Oct

After our summer hiatus to enjoy the heat outside, we are coming back in full swing! Bringing you an evening of fusion dancing mixing different styles of dance in Manhattan with great music and teachers. New Class format for this month! Here's a little note from Alfredo: Hello all! As the in-house instructor for Melting Pot, I'd like to share with you a new approach I'd like to explore within our classes. Rather than having a topic or series of steps to teach, the class will focus on one or two key words that will provide the basis for all tips, advice, and instruction. For example, this class' key word is going to be, "succinct". The class will center around minimizing movement, reducing noise, and finding simplicity in our dance language. The class is open to all levels. ----------------------------- Future party dates: We'll be sticking with our second Fridays through the cooler months until April. 2023 Dates: Oct 13, Nov 10, Dec 8 Schedule: 8-9pm Class with Alfredo Melendez 9-12 Social Dancing w/ Neil Benen & Alfredo Melendez ------------------------------ SLIDING SCALE: We try to keep the dance as cheap as we can and offer some sliding scale options.

Fusion Dance NYC is proud to host a social dance with a true "Melting Pot" of different partner dance forms and musical genres. The Music: We play a variety of music, starting with a baseline of electronic sounds (easy to be creative with because it is not associated with any other dance form), and depending on the night may or may not include..... Pop, Blues, Acoustic, WCS, Alt Tango, Zouk, Classical, Jazz, and whatever else we cook up Check out some of the music we play: https://fusiondancenyc.com/the-music The Dancing: We use the many genres of partner dance to create personal, improvisational expressions of music. To us, this means breaking down the boundaries between dance forms to allow us to pick and choose which amongst the many different techniques we wish to employ at any given time. It also means bringing the partner dance community together under one roof to help foster endless possibilities of movement creation.
