About this Event

⚜️OOEY GOOEY MICRO MELT EDITION INCLUSION FUSION is a social dance gathering focused on connection, co-creation and play with partner dance. No partner is necessary. Consent Culture focused. This is a space of welcome, invitation and balance! Won’t you join us for the coziest inclusion-fusion dance, filled with snuggly embraces and rich gooey beats? 🪩 This week is a Special OOEY GOOEY MICRO MELT addition. This themed night is focused on slowing down and melting into close embrace connection. Less fancy steps and more presence, attunement, body rolls, and micro movements is what Fusion Melt is all about. 🎧🌻TEACHER & DJ DURGA🌻🎶will be in the house teaching a dropped in connection class at 7pm + spinning all the saucy vibes til 10pm! 👩🏻‍🎤Movement and sensuality coach, DJ Durga wants the juicy jams to last - all - night - strong. She has an eclectic taste - and bringing yummy down tempo slow sauce to butter up the biscuits on the dance floor delights her ; Serving up so you can get down slow and low - while sliping in some high energy selections to keep that shakti pot stirring. 🎶 👯‍♂️ CLASS | 7-8pm: 💞HOLDING SPACE FOR YOURSELF TO CONNECT DEEPER WITH YOUR PARTNER Regulating our nervous systems is essential to deepen our availability for reciprocation- no matter the relationship. We will first connect to our own bodies through down regulation and clearing tools - so that both you and partner know that a safe co creative space is held during the dance. We will get into the concept of micro through somatic explorations; becoming brave with minimal movements. Experience the arts of shared weight and patience to encorporate these elements into the style of micro. *please no excessive "perfumes" during these dances 🙏 🫠WHAT IS MICRO MELT?? Melt is a type of partner dance inspired by Micro, Zouk and Kinetic Intimacy partner dance. This partner dance form focuses on connection, subtle listening and awareness, and what results is an amazing dance that people can get completely lost in! It sometimes appears from outside perspective that two people are simply standing, hugging, occasionally expanding into more undulated flow. You might see some people connecting with their breath, and others isolating rib baskets. Other times you may see energetic or massage contact creating fluid movement through the neck and spine. 🫶🏻MICRO MELT VALUES: Micro Melt values connection, deep listening and creativity in intimate spaces. Some suggested etiquette for the Micro Melt floor inspired from Mu & I in Seattle: ✨Check in with your partner about the embrace or frame, possible injuries, lead/follow/switch, etc. ✨Due to the close-contact nature of the dance, we encourage asking each new partner (embrace, distance, connection, etc) to ensure that everyone has a fun and comfortable experience. If you are uncomfortable with the embrace or any action occurring in the dance, it is your responsibility to communicate that to your partner or to change the embrace. ✨A Welcome environment & enough safety is our number one intention. May this be a night of magical sweetness on the dance floor and beyond. 🌸Your host for the night will be original Foothills Fusion Founder, Matia Duvall, holding down the fort with sweet vibes for our beloved dance community. 🕰Lesson: 7:00-8:00 Social dance: 8:00 - 10:00+ 🤑$15 (includes class) 🎟Or a new Inclusion Fusion Dance Pass (10-pack for $120) 📍@The Golden Empire Grange Grass Valley , Ca 🫶🏻Personal responsibility, respect and self care are expected.
