Where: The Dance Annex (527 Bloor W, near Bathurst station) ……………... Never been to Dance Alchemy before? We are a social partnered dance space. We call it fusion. It's a night of amazing music with people from a mix of different dance backgrounds :) Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience. If you have ever led or followed in partnered dance before, you’ve already got the tools you need. If not, come see what it's all about ;) Zoukers, Bluesers, Swingers (you know what we mean), Improvers, Contemporaries, Salseros, Kizombies, Tangueros, Hustlers, ALL you dance babes - this is a space for us to come together and play. Join the fun, feel the music, connect with your partner(s) and enjoy discovering just how much awesome you can bring to the the dance floor. Curious about the music? Expect to hear danceable tunes that you won't likely hear at other partner dance events. Some things you might hear: Electronica (glitch-hop, chillstep, electropop, electrofunk, indietronica, trip-hop, dubstep and too many others to name!) pop, RnB, acoustic, soul, lyrical, funk, hip-hop, blues and definitely more. From upbeat and fun to moody and juicy. ~ The space: This is a dance studio :) there is tap water and cups to keep everyone hydrated and we've always got some snacks kickin around. There is no bar. ~ Your feet: No outdoor shoes on the dance floor. Most people dance in flats or socks :) Whatever makes you happy and keeps the floor happy too. ~ This is an inclusive space <3 ……………...
