What's the Bonus Reception?
Answer
We wanted to make sure all our friends could celebrate but that the wedding day remained small and intimate. Our bonus reception will be a larger gathering held at Xcape Dance Academy in Eugene the Saturday after the wedding. The bonus reception will have fusion partner dancing, which is a style that combines multiple dance styles and music genres together. No dance experience or partner is required. The first half hour of the event will include a lesson. For those not interested in dance, there will also be a space for board games and conversation.
Question
What is fusion partner dancing?
Answer
Fusion partner dancing rooted in connection and creativity. Unlike many other dance styles, it does not have a base footwork or set moves but is more a blend of styles, cultures, and techniques. Each dance shaped by you, your partner, and the music. This is a social dance, meaning you will switch partners between songs. All skill levels are welcome, including people that have never danced before. A short lesson will be held at the beginning of the event.

We encourage you to give fusion a try (you might be surprised). But if you don't feel like dancing, you're still welcome. We will have a separate space for board games and conversation, along with light snacks and refreshments. You're also welcome to watch people dance and enjoy the music.
