INTERMEDIATE LESSON DESCRIPTION Most dance forms rely on an upper body frame. Inspired by Tarraxo, this class focuses on thigh connection as a tool for leading and following, unlocking new opportunities for expression and creativity. Don't skip leg day! WHAT IS BAREFOOT FUSION? Fusion as a style was created by dancers from many different backgrounds creating a common dance language, so that dancers of all different styles and skill levels can share the floor. It’s partnered, improvisational, and dynamic. Come on out and learn with us, and you’ll be able to connect with music in a new way, gain a more complete understanding of your body, and join a worldwide community of partner dancers. Barefoot is a POC & LGBTQIA safer event. This means bigotry of any kind is not tolerated. If you experience or see anything questionable, please let someone on the Portland Blues & Jazz Dance Society team know. Thanks for helping keep our dance a safe and welcoming space for all!
