Motley Hue Events

Motley Hue Events Motley Hue hosts events exploring endless creativity & deep connection through partner dance. We focus on innovation fueled by strong technique.

Join us for partner dance events fueled by the idea of endless creativity. Technique is learning to better express yourself, connect to yourself and your community, and transfer lessons learned in dance to the rest of your life. Sign up for our email list: https://mailchi.mp/motleyhue.org/sign-up

We have our flagship large festival in New York City, accompanied with a focused learning retreat before the event, and smaller festivals in Europe. We wish to inspire you to connect deeper to your body & inner self, your partner & your community, and if you choose to, spirit. We are big on consent, choice, and helping people find their own inner boundaries of how they relate to touch and personal growth. We respect that everyone has their own journey to travel.

What is Fusion Dance? Fusion dancers use the many genres of partner dance to create personal, improvisational expressions of music. For examples of fusion dancing, check out the We are explorers of movement, connection & music. We are investigators and creators. Our community is built on respect, the willingness to say “yes” to new ideas, and the freedom to color outside the lines of traditional partner dancing. Each new dance is an entire experience unto itself. Be yourself... because everyone else is taken.

We don’t know when yet… sometime in 2027.

In the meantime, we have two residential festivals in Europe if you want to join us - one near Turin, Italy (The Fusion Nest) and the other near Munich, Germany (Crème de la Connection). Each have their own vibes.

Come join us over the great big pond!
