Lessons! - No Partner Necessary!

Every Blues Cafe event begins with an hour-long drop-in lesson included with admission that will teach you what you need to burn up the dance floor for the rest of the night. Typically, lessons are taught by some of our seasoned local instructors; occasionally, we will bring in guest instructors from out of town. We will also sometimes do themed lessons focusing on a particular topic. Check the event description for the month for more information!

Fusion dance prides its self on inclusiveness and expression. Most fusion dancers study multiple genres of movement, but truly everyone is welcome. What has been created is the ultimate free form partner dance environment where salsa dancers dance with swing dancers, boys dance with boys, and hulla-hoops are always welcome. It's a circus in here!
