Fusion needs no introduction for those of you who attended 2008's Houston Fusion Exchange, but for those of you who may be wondering "what's this all about?", read on ...
The trip's a bit further for the Portland Fusion Exchange (Portland, OR), but promises to once again offer a one-of-a-kind chance to take what you know and blend it to create something new and amazing. Produced by Ivy Grey (formerly of Houston) and Andrew Sutton, this event comes "highly recommended".What is Fusion? Fusion is the combination of dances in such a way that allows dancers to use all the techniques, connections, and movements of many dances (in particular swing and blues, or blues and tango, or west coast and blues). This is a constant communication from lead to follow (and vice versa) that uses the dancers' knowledge of more than one dance to flow from one dance to another (i.e. leading a boleo inside a blues song, a blues follow would never loosen her leg and swing it around like in a boleo) within a song/dance.
Fusion is fun and it's for everyone. Tired of hearing all of the "No" in dance? Start saying YES with fusion.
The price includes 3 days of classes, 3 nights of dancing, at least 3 meals, an amazing line-up of instructors and DJs. . . and a live band on Saturday night!
