FRIDAY October 11, 2024 (code for tonight: 9145#) Our DJ's for the night: 🤩 Jes Ann Nail 😎 Her song choice for the month: A Tear in Space (Airlock) By Glass Animals 🤩 Justin Johnson 😎 His song choice for the month: I Learnt Some Jazz Today By Tessellated Why does Justin love to DJ at Fusion events: "Justin likes to bring music from outside the norm of what's often played in fusion (i.e. - more afro rhythms, funk, etc.), and weaves that in with more familiar sounds to get the party going. He loves getting the whole floor grooving, and revels in the creative freedom of dancing to many different genres of music in the same night." ------------------------------ Our instructor: Jes Ann Nail CLASS: Connection through leverage and compression. West Coast Swing (WCS) workshop with Jes Ann Nail on aspects of connection, learning how to sink in and enjoy the give and take with your partner through leverage and compression. WCS offers an expansive toolbox of ways to communicate with your partner on the dance floor, invaluable for fusion dancers. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to dive into these important techniques. ------------------------------ SCHEDULE: 8:00-9:00 Class with Jes Ann Nail 9-12 DJ'd Music with DJ's Justin Johnson and Jes Ann Nail -------------------------------- ADMISSION: $30-40 Sliding Scale Lesson + Dance $19-$25 Sliding Scale for Dance Only ------------------------------- NEW LOCATION: You Should Be Dancing Dance Center 37 West 26th Street, 2nd Floor *Dance payment is available by Cash or Venmo only. **If you want to get in with a discount by volunteering, private message Gavin Knittle https://www.facebook.com/gavin.knittle or email: [email protected] ------------------ MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Sign up here... http://eepurl.com/gnW3eL ------------------ WATER: There is plenty of tap water available at the venue, but please bring your own container to put it in (preferably with a closed lid to keep our dance floor in beautiful shape).

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.
