Melty Micro - June

Thank you everyone who came out to the first two Melty Micro events! We're so grateful to all of you for helping bring Micro back in LA. Save the date for our next Micro-only social! This one is for all those who love their melty, gooey dances. Micro, often short for microfusion, is a style of partner dance that focuses on using "micro" movements and a strong connection with our partner to allow ourselves to melt deeply into the music. While there is no official basic step for micro, dancers often rely on synced breathe, tiny weight shifts, body isolations, and changing energy levels to further embody the music. For our friends who haven't been to a micro event - if you've been to a late-night zouk, blues, kizomba, or similar event, you'll feel right at home! This is a micro-only event, so leave your grand movements at home, and bring your grand musicality, isolations, and artistic spirit! Schedule: 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Workshop: "A Tension & Compression Session" We will cover some basics for utilizing tension & compression, and then see how these concepts translate into zouk vocabulary and microfusion dances. 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM: Micro social, with DJ Adamame This month, join Melty Micro as we bring in DJ Adamame, a leader in the Los Angeles zouk scene, to take us on a zouk-inspired journey through micro. Emerging from the vibrant zouk scene, Adamame's sonic alchemy blends quirky and unique flavors from around the globe, serving them up on the warm, immersive dance floor. With Adamame's eclectic sets, there's one certainty - expect the unexpected. If you are interested in teaching or DJing at Melty Micro, please send us a DM! Also, our joint Entangled Fusion & Melty Micro discounts have been so popular that we're doing them again this time! You can attend both events for only $12 each (20% off)! Offer only available in person at Melty Micro, and only for Entangled on the following night (the 24th). Cost: $15 Venmo/PayPal/Zelle preferred. Cash accepted. No cards. Want free entry? If you'd like to volunteer for a short time to receive free entry, please message us! FAQ: What is the space like? We will be at PiYoDa Flow, a wonderful community oriented space that supports Pilates, yoga and dance artists. Large dance floor, no pillars, quality sound system, everything a dancer wants! Parking? There is a small parking lot that we ask be reserved for those who would feel safer parking close. If you are coming in a group, or feel safe walking in LA by yourself, please use street parking! The studio regularly hosts late night events with no issue, but it is LA, so always stay mindful. Regardless, we will offer walks back to your car if you need! Consent & Code of Conduct?
