Wren, a zealous new addition to the Bay Area's fusion scene, invites you to join them as they explore their passion for fusion through a new medium. This songbird aims to blend their favorite genres (soul,trip hop,alt/indie) to create a mystical musical experience. Their love-language is sharing music, and they are excited to share their sound with you!


𝗧𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼
Tony (He/Him) has spent a decade in the fusion scene traveling across the country (mainly in California and now in Seattle) to hear, record, and DJ moments of musical magic (MoMM). He tends to play variety and sometimes hits themes, but in every set you can almost always expect moments for solidarity, familiarity, collaborative chaos (trolling), and throwdowns.

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!

Steve loves to DJ. Steve loves to dance. Steve loves to DJ for dancers. Lyrical & expressive, rhythmic & dynamic, gooey sweet, down & dirty, and slow & melty, Steve can and will play a wide range of music designed to keep the creativity flowing, and keep everyone on the floor. Get ready for an amazing time!

In his own words our topic is as follows:

"Topic: Balboa-Fusion!
More specifically, we'll be teaching a fusion-modified version of the Bal-Swing basic, called "in and outs." This adds a lot of dynamic movement that works especially well with hip-hop and Afro-Latin rhythms, as well as soul & faster rhythmic songs!

Here's a sample of what bal-swing looks like done to swing music (but we won't be learning all the moves featured in the video):
