WHAT IS FUSION DANCING?
If you're unfamiliar with Fusion dancing, it's an improvisational environment where dancers from a variety of backgrounds come together to co-create, mix and match, and find common ground between dance styles and forms. Fusion dancers tend to be familiar with the basics of more than one partner dance (Blues, Tango, West Coast Swing, Zouk, Lindy Hop, etc.).

Amy Morrow will teach a Zouk themed class at 8pm, then she and Krystyna Lopez will step into the DJ booth with sets that will be Zouk-able but also suitable for many other dance styles. Whether you're a seasoned Zouk dancer or just Zouk-curious, we hope you'll join us!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS:
Amy Morrow is a master teacher, choreographer, and festival producer. As Executive Director of Fisterra, she manages sponsored projects such as The Theorists, Draw Together, XYZ Atlas, REST Fest, and has produced 100+ movement workshops worldwide.
Morrow's quest is the ever-evolving conversational nature of dance and experiencing partner dance as the anthropological art of hugging. Her first impressions of social dance were learning Lindy Hop from her Grandparents at the family farm, Blues in living rooms throughout a warzone, Salsa at a Garba house party in Jackson, Mississippi, and Bachata on a rooftop in Ahmedbhad, Kizomba with We Can Dance Blind in Dallas. Since April 2023, she has thrown herself into Brazilian Zouk with her eyes closed and arms wide open every day, multiple times a day, in whatever city she is in. She finds a sense of belonging wherever she is in the world through movement and seeks to see magic in the mundane.
