Melting Pot Fusion Dance December 13, 2024

FRIDAY December 13, 2024 (code for tonight: TBA#)

With Special 1.5 Hour workshop with Flouer Evelyn!

FIND YOUR FLOW
CLASS: FIND YOUR FLOW

Most of our partner dances are based on walking movements, connecting with upright torsos. But what happens when we open our bodies, allowing our torsos to bend and flow, cresting and falling together like ocean waves? In this class, we’ll incorporate concepts from Liberato Dance with movements from Brazilian Zouk and Contemporary Dance into our fusion, exploring new pathways of movement and connection.

Your movement can be organic and fluid, and we’ll help you find your own, personal, flow.

This class will be a small glimpse of the material you will find at the Exhale Fusion Retreat before Motley Hue this year.

Our DJ's for the night:

🤩 DJ Flouer
Flouer is coming back to Melting Pot for one night! While DJing, the dance floor is her tapestry as she spins rich, colorful portraits full of creativity and eclectic sounds from many places. She seeks to lull you with the sweet sounds of familiar rhythms- then skyrocket you into starry realms, far past where you ever thought music could take you.
Dance is your playground, music is your jungle gym. https://FlouerDances.com

Song choice for the month: https://open.spotify.com/track/1jn3Fp9nqetpf0tPEkRJaK?si=f237a07abf6c4350

🤩 DJ Neil Benan. 😎
Neil cut his teeth on New York City’s blues scene. Once he got a taste of it, he was hooked! His appetite and love for dance music grew and he began DJing for blues events and later, fusion. He seeks to create a musical environment that will light up the floor, based on his gut, heart and soul; conversation busters where people stand up and say: “Hey, let’s talk later, I have to dance to this!”

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). In an effort to stay green, we will not be providing paper cups for you at this event.

There are no street shoes, heels or hard heeled shoes at this venue. This is a really beautiful venue with a really beautiful floor, and we would like to keep it that way!

We follow all local regulations of New York City. Please refrain from coming to the party if you have any flu-like symptoms at all. We reserve the right to ask you questions about your health and/or ask you to leave if we observe signs of sickness that could be linked to Covid.

WHAT IS FUSION?
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.
