As you know, much of the music and dancing we do at Shades is varied, and plays outside of most established dance styles. We excited to have world travelling dance instructor Mark Carpenter, partnering with some of the premier fusion dancers in the Bay Area, in residence this fall, offering a fusion series exploring the emerging dance style. "Fusion" is an approach to dance that takes atomic dance building blocks and constructs dance conventions in the moment with your partner, to the music. These lessons will aim to be comprehensive, but are not progressive, so come to the ones you can, and tell your friends.
