Autumn Fusion Immersion
Immerse yourself in Fusion Dance and the soothing hot springs of Breitenbush! This intimate retreat is a mix of instructional classes, social dancing, and somatic awareness sessions. It's designed to deepen community connections while also offering opportunities to build some skills. And you get to choose your own adventure amongst this wide array of activities. Whether you come alone or with companions, the Fusion Dance community is warm and welcoming—and upholds a culture of consent & attunement.
This adult (18+) Immersion is designed for dancers who have established a foundational understanding of Fusion Dance or other framed partner forms (Blues, Lindy Hop, Tango, Swing, Bachata, Zouk, Kizomba, etc); it is not for beginners. We welcome participants with at least 6-12 months of consistent partner dance experience, who are ready to explore more complex concepts and creative approaches. (Please note that while many of us love Contact Improv and Ecstatic Dance, they do not fulfill the partner dance prerequisite for this retreat.)
Autumn Fusion Immersion is a queer-led event, and supports non-normative gender roles on the dance floor.
We will occupy the whole Breitenbush property, with up to 85 participants (no personal retreats during the same weekend). All dances & other sessions will be held in the North Wing of the Lodge.
