We are explorers of movement, connection & music. We are investigators and creators.
What is the history of Motley Hue?
Our past…
From 2015-2020 Motley Hue was an annual fusion partner dance festival held in the heart of New York City that drew dancers and instructors from all over the world.
After Covid and many other changes, we decided to broaden the scope of our influence and deepen our values. We came back in 2023 and are now based in both Europe and the United States, producing two large events per year, one on each continent.
When we host dance classes, they are built on the idea of endless creativity fueled by strong technique. We prioritize opening new movement possibilities through our positive learning environment and emphasis on the individual connecting to the whole.
Partner dance, community, personal expression, and relational connections has always been at the core of what we do.
You can check out all photos from past events on our facebook page.

Motley Hue Video Project 2019
As a follow up project to our 2018 initiative to produce more examples of excellence in fusion dance, we were lucky to have musician and filmmaker David Keogh (@twelve.notes) film a few pairs of dancers on the pier in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Enjoy the dancing!
Motley Hue Video Project 2018
The goal behind this project was to produce more examples of excellent fusion dancing. We strive to inspire our community and showcase what we do to the general public. Enjoy!
What is Fusion Dance?
Fusion dancers use the many genres of partner dance to create personal, improvisational expressions of music.
We are explorers of movement, connection & music. We are investigators and creators.
Our community is built on respect, the willingness to say “yes” to new ideas, and the freedom to color outside the lines of traditional partner dancing. Each new dance is an entire experience unto itself.
