Guest teacher: Simon

Simon brings over 12 years of experience in fusion, blues, and swing dance, with instruction rooted in connection over choreography. Originally from New York, he grew up immersed in theater and movement, performing in several Broadway productions before turning his toes toward partner dance.

His approach to fusion blends precision with play, teaching the core mechanics of partner communication while giving dancers the range to express themselves to anything from Sinatra to Billie Eilish. With a deep appreciation for blues aesthetics and a love for contemporary textures, Simon’s instruction focuses on clarity, responsiveness, and the subtleties of leading and following with intention. Now based in Las Vegas, he continues to teach and DJ with a simple goal: make social dance feel like a ride--organic, exhilarating, and visually impressive without looking like you're trying too hard.

Host & facilitator: Angela

I will be guiding explorations throughout the Lab, adapting to the interests & experience of the group! In the open dance, there is space for others to offer practices & ideas as well.

Explorations may include topics of embodied communication, tone, frame, musicality, walking, footwork, efficient movement, clarity of movement, the connected body, leading, following, emergent creativity, specific characterisitics of individual dance traditions, mode switching, groove, lag, stretch, etc. I offer my ongoing learnings from spaces for Fusion, Microfusion, Blues, West Coast Swing, Tango, Zouk, Kizomba, Bachata, Contemporary partnering, Hip Hop improvisation, as well as from my primary practices, Contact Beyond Contact and Contact Improvisation.

I will play a range of music supporting different styles and welcome your favorites!
