What will give you the freedom to be fearlessly cr What will give you the freedom to be fearlessly creative in your dance? 🔑 Drilling those basics. 🔑 Mastering that new rhythm. 🔑 Developing clean footwork you can pull out anywhere. 🔑 Refining the sensitivity of your connection. 🔑 Mirroring the person in front of you exactly. 🔑 Executing that new move perfectly after the 100th time. When you have dependable tools available to you, you can do more. Discipline to Practice = Freedom on the Dance Floor ——— Who Was Martha Graham? Martha Graham (1894–1991) was one of the most influential figures in modern dance. She broke away from the rules of classical ballet to explore movement that was more grounded and emotionally raw.⁠ Instead of striving for perfection, Graham embraced the truth of human experience; developing a movement language rooted in breath, contraction, and release. . . #bluesdance #partnerdance #bluesdancing #bluesmusic #blues #dance #learningdance #danceteacherlife #fortheloveofblues #fusiondance #fusiondancing #fusionpartnerdance #partnerfusiondance #freestylepartnering #socialdance #socialdancer #danceteacher #dancefestival #ontour #fusionfestival

Definition of “Expression”: The freedom to sho Definition of “Expression”: The freedom to show the world who you are - loudly, softly, or somewhere wildly in between. You all showed up and showed out - in sequins, silk, mesh, glitter, leather, lace, animal prints, florals, and full-blown fantasy. The Motley Hue dance floor was a living runway of color, character, creativity, and flair. Thank you for dressing your truth, playing with style, and making fashion part of the magic. You were walking art. 🤍 🪩 Captured by @ismael_cam https://www.ismaelfoto.com/about.html . . . . . . . #fusiondance #fusionpartnerdance #fusiondancefestival #fusiondanceparty #partnerfusiondance #dance #partnerdance #partnerdancers #socialdance #socialdancer #motleyhue #motleyhuefusion #motleyhue2025 #fusionfestival #fusionsocial #freestylepartnering #Fusiondancenyc #nycdance #nyc #newyorkcitydance
One of the hallmarks of a classic “fusion” son One of the hallmarks of a classic “fusion” song is that it has elements of both rhythm and melody in it. As fusion dancers we love to go between grooving with rhythm and flowing with melody, changing the way we dance to express the different parts of the music. Groove = a short repeated movement with pulse, usually expressed with the full body to the baseline of the music Flow = continuous sequential movement transitioning between one moment and the next, expressing the melody or atmosphere of the song A mode is the *way* you are dancing at any given moment. On the fusion dance floor we can switch between one mode and another, such as groove and flow. So yes, let’s have both our rhythm and our melody! Our electronic base beat and our beautiful violins. Bring on the heart pumping drums and mix them with the floating piano and the sassy horns. We want it all. ——— This quote is a paraphrased line from the Natya Shastra, which is one of the most important/ influential ancient texts on dance, music, and theatre in India. The quote reflects a core idea in the text: that rhythm (tala) is essential to dance, just as melody (raga) is to music. It reminds us that rhythm is the heartbeat of dance - without it, movement loses its soul. . . . . . . #fusiondance #fusionpartnerdance #fusiondancefestival #fusiondanceparty #partnerfusiondance #dance #partnerdance #partnerdancers #socialdance #socialdancer #motleyhue #motleyhuefusion #fusionfestival #fusionsocial #freestylepartnering #dancequotes #natyashastra #sacredindiatext
