Fusion dance has been referred to as the mixed martial arts of social dance. The basic principles of partner dance will ground you in sparking improvisation. What is the music like? Acoustic, pop, hip hop, blues, afro-beats, kizomba, classical, instrumental, EDM, R&B, swing, jazz, soul, and Latin dance-based rhythms for fusion from tango, zouk, bachata, salsa. Who we are is in our dance. We come together as dancers to belong, to play, to be fierce, to be free, to be our authentic selves. We share our stories through our movement and co-create new ones in dance partnership. Evoke Dance is an inclusive space where dancers respect one another, and by virtue of this attain the level of freedom of expression, spontaneity, connection and creativity in a warm and welcoming community. Monthly event-Upcoming Dates: March 30th, May 4th, June 8th Class and Instructor: Henry Lankin Class focus: Henry Lankin is back with us for the lesson and to start the night off with DJing. The lesson will explore music that evokes us to reach for Latin rhythms and movement in our dance, in particular fusing Latin rhythms with West Coast swing elements. We encourage you to join if you want to explore other dance forms, level up your technique, or perhaps learn to lead or follow if you are predominantly in one role or the other. Dancers of all levels are welcome. Evoke Fusion’s lessons are focused on enhancing our dance connection and inspiring the fusion of different dance forms. The rich tapestry of culture, rhythms, and dancers make the language of fusion dancing irreverent, spontaneous, and full of creativity and joy.
