“May 3rd: Melting Pot goes to Motley Hue”

Join 175 fusion dancers from all across North America + the New York City Fusion Dance crew you know and love for our big blowout party in the heart of Manhattan. The venue is gorgeous, and will accommodate everyone nicely with ample air conditioning! 🌟 🕺 🌟 CLASS TOPIC: FUSION DANCE CONCEPTS The 8-9pm pre-dance lesson is included in your pass price! Taught by out-of-town dance teachers, the class will cover important concepts and best practices that you will want to know to get the most out of your fusion dance experience. It’s not a beginner “how to dance” class, but a Fusion Class specifically geared to introduce concepts to those new to fusion, and deepen understanding for those familiar. 🎵 🎹 🎵 LIVE MUSIC: JOSH GRONNER of LAUGHING MATTERS Josh Gronner is a dancer, organizer, and amazing fusion musician coming to us all the way from California. He was the musician we wanted to bring out in 2020, but couldn’t! You won’t want to miss his set, as he rarely gets to the East Coast these days. Check out his music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDJspNWEQkc 🚀 💥 🚀 DJ FUSION MUSIC We have a stellar lineup of musical talent for you.

Fusion Dance NYC is proud to host a social dance with a true "Melting Pot" of different partner dance forms and musical genres. The Music: We play a variety of music, starting with a baseline of electronic sounds (easy to be creative with because it is not associated with any other dance form), and depending on the night may or may not include..... Pop, Blues, Acoustic, WCS, Alt Tango, Zouk, Classical, Jazz, and whatever else we cook up Check out some of the music we play: https://fusiondancenyc.com/the-music The Dancing: We use the many genres of partner dance to create personal, improvisational expressions of music. To us, this means breaking down the boundaries between dance forms to allow us to pick and choose which amongst the many different techniques we wish to employ at any given time. It also means bringing the partner dance community together under one roof to help foster endless possibilities of movement creation.
