7:30 pm - 8:45 pm: Not-Your-Average Fusion Intro Class (Consent Class) Vanessa Yxcea
This Is Not An Instructional Dance-Movement Class. Rather, This Class Is An Introduction To Some Of The Social Core Values Of Fusion Dancing: Authenticity, Boundaries, And Consent. We Will Be Setting The Tone For An Evening Full Of Both New And Rekindled Dance Connections, Of Establishing And Honoring Boundaries, And Of Proactive Curiosity To Explore Our Movement Expression, Our Community, And Ourselves. This Class Is A Facilitated Practice To Role Play And Explore Real-Life Scenarios You May Encounter On The Social Floor Over The Weekend, Such As Declining A Dance Or How To Accommodate A Partner With Specific Boundaries.
