Fusion Saturday
Fusion partner dance event by Justin Burkey
Don’t know what fusion is? Don’t worry! It’s easy and can be many things! Fusion is a type of contemporary improvised partner dance that combines and borrows from different dance styles and techniques. Don’t know any dance styles or techniques? That’s AOK because fusion is also a dance style all its own that we can help teach you.
The night will begin with a 1 hour beginner lesson followed by 4.5 hours of social dancing. The beginner lesson will be from 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm (This lesson will be different than the last one but will still incorporate blues dance basics as well as some more fusiony variations) The social dance will be from 8:30 pm – 1:00 am (The music selection is made to be accessible for a wide variety of dance styles including: blues, zouk, west coast swing, and fusion as its own form.
Cost: sliding scale – $5-10 dollars for entry via cash or venmo (if you plan to pay at the door with cash, please have exact change)
Parking:
The right side of the parking lot downhill from the meetinghouse is fair game, however, please refrain from parking on the left. It is for Ronald McDonald House staff and guests. The small DFM Lot to the right in front of the little meetinghouse close to Alexander Ave is small but also fair game. The Duke Security Lot that is directly across the street from DFM is also fair game unless a specific parking spot says otherwise. DO NOT PARK in the lot downhill from the Duke Security Lot, beside the Episcopal Student Center. Also DO NOT PARK in the lot near the Campus Security Office which fronts on Oregon St. It is at the far end of the lot beside the Episcopal Center. The Duke’s Bynum/Oregon Lot is also fair game. Reach this lot by going uphill from DFM on Alexander Ave. about 40 ft. Turn right on Bynum St., a one-lane street connecting Alexander with Oregon Street. The lot is on the corner of Bynum & Oregon, access from Oregon. There is also some street parking available.
