Barefoot Fusion - Juneteenth ❤️💛💚🖤 - Community Social Dance Club

Join us for Barefoot Fusion every Friday at Tango Berretin! We did have a special night planned for Juneteenth, Freedom Day, but unfortunately Fenix Rising Band is unexpectedly unavailable so we are having to adjust the evening a bit. We still have a Blues dance lesson! ❤️💛💚🖤 We look to honoring the roots of Blues & Jazz music and the many dance forms they inspired as inextricably linked to Black history.

Whether you’re a longtime Blues or Fusion dancer or simply looking to expand your dance vocabulary, we’d love to share the dance floor with you! 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!
