Theme: Since this social is associated with a dance teacher training, let's celebrate growth with Spring in the Fall - whatever that means to you! Perhaps seasonal colors, or messages of growth or learning. This is an optional dress code theme.

2201 P St NW, Washington, DC 20037
Two blocks West of Dupont Circle (red line Metro) at 22nd & P St. NW between P & Q. Free parking is available adjacent to Embassy Row all day Sunday. The dance floor is in the basement of The Church of the Pilgrims Fellowship Hall. Take the entrance from the south side via stairs going down.
Class description: The Space We Hold and Carry
Fusion has many shapes of connection, drawn from a wide variety of different dances. In this class, we'll take a dive into how we can intentionally vary our connection in order to communicate not just that we want to dance different styles, but that we want our dance to mean different things, and to build a relationship between leading and following that is both flexible and creative.
Access Notes: This class will be taught in a scramble-style rotation where you can stay in one role or switch roles. You should be comfortable following steps in directions.

First DJ: Heather
First DJ: Heather
Bio:
Heather has been dancing since she was five, and she was one of the original founders of the D.C. fusion dance scene a decade ago. An organizer in multiple dance and arts scenes through the years, she loves to craft experiences that allow dancers to get creative and connect on the dance floor. She enjoys playing a mix of musical styles, and countless house parties and dances later, she still loves throwing down the perfect fusion song and watching dancers interpret it together. She’s sure to drop some fusion classics that the community knows and loves, too, and she can’t wait to give you some musical inspiration to play with!

Second DJ: Marshall
Bio:
Marshall is a fusion and blues dancer, DJ, and retired organizer from Washington, DC, where he is one of the founders of the DC area’s preeminent monthly fusion dance, First Sunday Fusion. Marshall is a believer in the ongoing co-creation of fusion dance as a new art form. He loves seeing dancers connect on the floor and seeks to play multiple genres of music from around the world, mixing old classics with new global bangers—but his sweetest spot is music that keeps you in that floating high where you feel like you could keep dancing forever.
