THE FUSION NEST
[Cozy Edition]
Sept 26-28, 2025
Busca, Piemonte, Italia (near Torino)
Thank You For Participating!
The Fusion Nest and Motley Hue invited you to an immersive weekend of fusion dance in the mountains of Cuneo. Photo’s from the Retreat…
What is Fusion Dance?
Fusion dance is a constantly evolving form, born from the encounter between different partner dance techniques and movement languages.
It is not a defined style, but an open space of research, listening and dialogue through movement.
It’s a space of Freedom.
It’s a space of Creativity.
It’s a space of Responsibility.
And because there is no set patterns you have to know, it’s a space to dive even deeper into the many dance techniques of connecting to each other.
Why did we host this?
Until recently, Turin had no fusion dance community. Now, a vibrant new family has sparked with energy and curiosity! Guided by Flouer, who lives in Turin, it reflects the core values of her organisation, Motley Hue: connecton, creativity through strong technique, and personal expression.
The Fusion Nest and Motley Hue are coming together this time to unite our community with a global vision. The Fusion Nest (“Cozy Edition” because we want to stay relatively small!) brings together our local community with international teachers, DJs, and dancers, building a nest that’s both cozy and open to the world… 🪺
What happened?
- Over the course of the two night, three-day retreat, the heart of the experience was six hours of class with Flouer on Saturday and Sunday, dedicated to fusion dance.
- Days began with morning yoga practices and continue with nature explorations and shared relaxation time.
- In the evening, dancing continued: every night, social dances with carefully selected DJ sets offered moments of connection and exploration.
- We cooked and shared delicious meal together, surrounded by nature’s beauty.
- Additionally, the weekend opened with an introductory fusion class by Marianne on Friday evening, and on Saturday night Cristina Lucia Da Ponte we offered a contact workshop followed by an open jam.
