Jonathan is a musician with decades of experience playing the piano and singing in choirs. His first introduction to social dancing was through his college West Coast Swing club, and ever since then he has been hooked. Although he only discovered fusion a year ago, it has rapidly become his new favorite dance style due to its potential for freeform musicality. As a DJ, he strives to highlight music from a wealth of diverse genres in order to craft a dance experience that is fresh, genuine, and deeply connected.


𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧:
Eleanor is a lifelong dancer, singer, and musician, and uses those skills to build her sets. With a variety of genres and grooves Eleanor nourishes the energy of the room, keeping you musically engaged and emotionally compelled.

Fusion dancing has been Eleanor’s dance obsession since 2016. A community facilitator as well as a dance teacher, Eleanor’s teaching style is curious, analytical, and supportive. She loves working with absolute beginners and feels passionately about dance as a natural extension of skills our bodies already possess. Growing up in the ballet studio educated Eleanor in the structure, pedagogy, and flow of a good dance class, and she uses her training as a musician to help you settle into the beat and express the music. Come to classes with Eleanor for musicality, body mechanics, and presence.

Emily Webb began her love affair with partner dancing in 1996. Starting out as a Lindy Hopper, through the years she danced through Tango, Salsa, Blues, and finally Fusion dance. Today, Fusion and Tango remain her greatest dance loves. Emily teaches Tango and Fusion across North America, and she is the co-creator of Mission Fusion. While Emily loves to geek out on technique she also believes learning should be experiential and fun! Her classes create a positive environment to explore human relationship, movement and expression in dance partnership. Get ready to play, get geeky, laugh, learn and delve deep into the world of partner dance!
