About me: Swing-Blues-Tango Fusion is Coming to Houston!
January 4 - 6, 2008
It. Will. Rock.
What is FUSION? Fusion is the combination of dances in such a way that allows dancers to use all the techniques, connections, and movements of many dances (in particular swing and blues, or blues and tango, or west coast and blues). This is a constant communication from lead to follow (and vice versa) that uses the dancers knowledge of more than one dance to flow from one dance to another (ie. leading a boleo inside a blues song, a blues follow would never loosen her leg and swing it around like in a boleo) within a song/dance.
(Description written by Drew Robinson, Portland.)
Dances: Blues. Lindy. West Coast. Argentine Tango.
