Introducing “Dance at Dusk” - Brooklyn's first monthly Fusion Dance gathering.

Fusion Dance is a magnificent blend of styles coming together to create a fluid improvisational partner dance. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a newbie looking to learn how to move your feet, this style is inclusive for all because of its diverse nature. Perfect for a date night, a night out with friends or laid back weekday fun that will get you home by midnight.

We kick off each event with an introductory dance lesson focusing on some basics of the dance style, followed by a consent talk. Afterwards, let loose on the open dance floor as our talented rotating cast of DJs send us through the night.

This event is specifically inclusive of all gender, queer and POC backgrounds, so whoever you are, dress to express yourself and dance the night away. Solo folks welcome, as traditionally dance partners will rotate through the night.

For questions and further info, contact Foxie Lou (Mxfoxielou) or Gavin (Gav.a.good.time) on IG.

A blowout dance party with an irresistible New Orleans style blues band. Come early: the night kicks off with a blues dance lesson by Brooklyn Swings. Stay late: more blues dancing music put on by our DJ after the band.

With a wide-mouthed, window-rattling sound that stacks up solidly alongside the great blues shouters like Big Maybelle and Big Mama Thornton, Lulu and the Broadsides double-dog dare you not to get out on the dance floor and move what the good Lord gave you. Lulu is the alter ego of singer-songwriter Dayna Kurtz. Kurtz already carved out a name for herself by amassing a repertoire of obscure soul and R&B gems, as well as originals that could have been unearthed from the same record hound’s favorite crypt — all caressed with the rich, rough and smoky vocals a reviewer once described as positively addictive. Her eclectic choices and compositions, mining rock ’n’ roll, blues and R&B, have more often than not shone the light on her talent for the low, slow burn, with trademark deep-pitched and honeyed vocals that smolder.  The Broadsides, her estimable band—of New Orleans and New York all stars—serve up hot R&B the way it was made back in the 45 RPM era: smart, loose, and a little dirty.
