When does being soft stop feeling dangerous? We want flow. We crave Ease. To accomplish flow and ease we must find softness. You cannot be soft if you do not find strength. The inner core kind of strength. When you feel weak, you protect yourself and harden. Your body stiffens. Your words get sharp. You brace for impact. Not because you want to be 😤🤯🤬. But because if you soften… you think you’ll collapse. That people will run over you. Your boundaries won’t be kept. I see this all the time with powerful women. Women who are naturally fluid. Intuitive & Strong. Terrified of being soft. So they build armor, little turtle shells. 🐢 Rigid. Sharp. Brittle. But brittle isn’t strength. Real strength is being solid on your feet. Being at peace with who you are And being at peace when you don’t know who you are When this happens …softness stops being dangerous. It becomes power. Your boundaries aren’t stone walls. They’re alive. Responsive to the situation. Clear. And when you shine… people come toward the light. You become a little lightening bug that nobody can put into a jar. .

Do you have an idea of what fusion partner dancing is? Does this fit your mold, or break it? (More on that below!) The two of us, Mark & Flouer, will be collaborating on many projects this spring 💜 Our two weeklong intensives are called The Convergence Labs, and we’ll be doing two different themes- one in Berlin and the other in NYC. Registration is open for everything below: Full tour schedule: ✺ Zürich Flüesli - May 8-10 ✺ Fusionauts’ Quest Masterclasses - May 22-24 ✺ The Berlin Convergence Lab - May 25-29 ✺ The NYC ConvergenceLab - June 16-19 ✺ Motley Hue Fusion NYC - June 19-21 Great, but what about this dance? The style in this video is a fusion of many things, but draws heavily upon the “Fusion Dialect” of Smoothstepping. Smoothstepping is an “old school” combination of ballrooming blues, tango, slow jazz, and other ballroom styles. One of the original fusion forms from “back in the day”, we’ve never stopped dancing it and now we’re making it “new school”. 🎓 It utilizes progressive traveling and momentum accordion partner mechanics, and is an amazing way to introduce traveling technique into your dance coming directly from the fusion world. ….

Hello, I’m Flouer! 👋 (You can pronounce it simply “flower”🌻) There has been an influx of over 150 people in the last few days, and I feel so grateful for the support! Thank you for joining me on this platform ❤️😊 I thought I would introduce myself properly, since many people don’t know me yet. Feel free to introduce yourself below, and include your location! I’d love to get to know you. My mission in life is to help people connect to their bodies, their partners, and the world around them through movement. I am a partner dance instructor and embodiment coach. What does that mean?! As a partner dance instructor I travel the world sharing my love and dedication to the art forms of Blues Dance and Fusion Partner Dancing. I love that I get to teach dance to all kinds of people through these forms, as they are friendly for all ages and abilities. I’m also a huge nerd and love to do historical research, develop curriculum, and figure out the mechanics of a movement. Several years ago I started my journey to become an embodiment coach because I had experiences working with students for years and the same problems would come up for them over and over- they couldn’t overcome them through dance alone. I knew intuitively that these were life problems they were dealing with, not dance problems, but I didn’t have the tools or permission to work with them in the way they needed. After several years of study I’m proudly beginning to offer 1:1 sessions, classes and retreats that use movement, the body, and partnering to help people overcome the difficulties in their lives. It is truly fulfilling work for me. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you somewhere in the world soon! 💜 Flouer #partner #dance #dancer #danceteacher #partnerdance #bluesdance #embodiment #embodimentcoach #embodimentcoaching #fusiondance #fusionpartnerdancing

A little about Smoothstepping … Began in early 2000’s as a mix between ballroom blues, tango, and other ballroom dances. It’s danced to a ton of different types of music, and it gets us out and about, moving across the dance floor. Join us for the NYC Convergence Lab before @motleyhue.events to learn a little more about it. We’ll also touch on it briefly in our Berlin Convergence Lab. @flouerdances & @themarkcarpenter . #partnerdance #fusiondance #fusionpartnerdance #socialdance #danceteacher

To all of my amazing Kaleidacampers!! @kaleidoscopefusion Oh what a magical week we had together! Spending a week living in a castle, dancing and practicing every day, eating amazing food, laughing continuously with so much joy and inside jokes. I treasured the morning time outside in the vividly green almost-spring hills. Drinking lovingly made tea by John in the Village Hall every day. Coming up with all new names for the dance positions! We firmly decided that “espresso”, “medium”, and “latte” were the appropriate terms. Our week long anthem… “Shut Up 🐓!” Preparing classes with Frankie (@frankienarrates ) in our fancy lit rooms… I couldn’t ask for a better co-conspirator! We had so much fun both prepping and teaching together. We have had a bit of time apart now to let the dust settle, and a renewed sense of gratitude & fond memories of my quiet hours planning classes by my castle window has resurfaced. Can’t wait for next year! Are you coming this time? March 21-28, 2027 . #fusiondance #fusionpartnerdance #partnerdance #danceteacherlife #kaleidoscopefusion

Easter… Spring… the Equinox… cycles and change… turning of the seasons, the flowers bloom, the green things grow, spring cleaning commences, and the perennials resurrect from the death of winter. Signs of fertility and new beginnings start to show up everywhere. What are my commitments to new beginnings this season? I am committed to dancing more, documenting more of my thoughts, and typing a little less. It’s finally time for those “New Year” resolutions. To rebirth the new self, to break out from your egg shell 🐣. Maybe a little spring cleaning of the soul. 🌼 . #spring #memes #easter #change
