First Sunday Fusion at Sunset for Dancers

This week we are hosting First Sunday Fusion at Sunset for Dancers. FSF invites partner dancers of all backgrounds to come explore connection and movement together, to a variety of different musical styles. Fusion dancing seeks to expand the boundaries of improvised partner dancing through "fusing" dance and music styles. As with its physics counterpart, fusion explores what happens when the building blocks of different styles, aesthetics, rhythms, leads, etc. collide - with the belief that something beautiful will emerge. The goal of Sunset for Dancers is to create an open space for people to come together learn, explore, practice and social dance, all in the most beautiful waterfront setting, with breathtaking views of the sunset, weather permitting. Our guest instructors Heather Brady and Jason Potell will teach a workshop to introduce Fusion dance to newcomers. Clyde Wright and Marshall Douglas will DJ. ✮ MUSIC ✮ The FSF team will be DJing EDM, broken beat EDM, chillstep, trip hop, Zouk, Kizomba, Pop, Hip Hop, Reggaeton and some breaks that may feature Salsa and Bachata ✮ PROGRAM ✮ 5:30 - 7:00PM Introduction Fusion Dance Workshop with FSF Guest Instructors Jason Potell and Heather Lynn Brady 7:00 - 8:00 PM Sunset for Dancers First Sunday Fusion Dance Social - DJ Marshall Douglas 8:00 - 9:50 PM Sunset for Dancers First Sunday Fusion Dance Social - DJs Clyde Wright ✮ PRICE ✮ To participate in the dancing portion of this event in our reserved area or to take part in the lesson you will require a wristband.

If you are here and you walk towards the Potomac River you will find us. If you are at the fountain just walk towards the Key bridge along the water and you will find us. Driving in and finding free street parking can be difficult. We recommend using public transportation, walking, biking or uber to get to our location. There is also a $13 parking garage 3205 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20007 ✮ IMPORTANT TIPS ✮ 1. Make sure you have read the information about our exact location. It can be difficult to find us if it's your first time. 2. Bring the least amount of personal belongings, this event takes place in a public park and if you leave your stuff anywhere to go dance, you do so at your own risk. 3. There are no drinks sold at this event and nearest bar or restaurant is a 4 minute walk away. We recommend you bring water to stay hydrated. Dancing in the Sun will make you very thirsty. There is also limited seating, so if you bring a picnic blanket you can rest on the grass adjacent to our area. Lastly it a public park and not no alcoholic drinks are permitted. 4. The floor that we dance on is a smooth pavement, some of the dances we do involve a lot of turns. Its best to wear a low friction/low grip street shoe. Dance shoes wear out very quickly on this surface. We recommend soft smooth bottom Toms shoes. ✮ SAFETY ✮ We take safety very seriously within our community. Any inappropriate behavior should be brought to the organizers attention. We have a zero tolerance tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior and any issues regarding consent on and off the dance floor. If someone is deemed a threat to our participants we will do what we can to isolate them from our community, assist with legal action if necessary and notify law enforcement. ✮ CONNECT WITH US ✮ Lastly we are open to suggestions, we want to hear from you, please message Kizz Me DC if you have any comments or suggestions. #sunsetfordancers
