– “What will stick with me the most- was the overall concepts from the Pearling Principle classes- over just what Fusion is, and what it includes- While the concepts weren’t new to me- and actually align quite stringly with my own view of Fusion to my surprise- it was cool getting to explore that and push it further in classes – and that sense of the freedon to explore all interaction , and the process of making art and connecting and how it indeed, is extremely expansive- will remain with me and remind my dancer brain to incorporate that side of me more into my fusion dancing.”
