*What is FUSION?*

Tired of hearing all of the "no" in dance? Start saying YES with fusion!

Fusion is the combination of dances in such a way that allows dancers to use all the techniques, connections, and movements of many dances (in particular swing and blues, or blues and tango, or west coast and blues). This is a constant communication from lead to follow (and vice versa) that uses the dancers' knowledge of more than one dance to flow from one dance to another within a song/dance. Fusion is imagination in motion.

*Join us for the San Diego Fusion Exchange!*

3 Days of Classes! 3 Nights of Dancing! Amazing instructor lineup! Tons of DJs! Live Music! Meals included! ...and a LIVE BAND on Saturday night!

For our 3rd year, we're giving you more of what you loved, all in two GORGEOUS venues: 30 minute breaks between classes, free coffee all day and all night long, your favorite instructors, great DJs, and uninterrupted social dancing! Experience the passion of dancing by using the combination of all your dance knowledge (whether it be blues, west coast, slow lindy, soul, argentine tango, or any other dance) so that you can best create your own style to fit the music.

To make your stay easier, we've arranged a shuttle service between the main venue and the late night venue that will take you back to the hotel. We've also arranged a super special super low $45 rate with the hotel (Jan 1 - 13) so you can walk to the venues in the beautiful California sun.

And wait, there's more: If you live on the West Coast and you'd like to start the party as you travel. We've also arranged a party bus starting in Seattle and picking up in Portland and San Francisco. Contact Kayce Spear (travel coordinator) by November 1st.

*Early Registration Is Already Filling Fast!*

Early registration ends when the early spots are gone, and prices increase as each set of early bird registrations are filled, so please don't wait until the last minute to register!

An all-access pass is a tremendous bargain and includes 3 full days of classes with dancing in-between, 3 nights of dancing from 9 PM - 5 AM, breakfast, lunch, and a late night snack.

Current ticket supplies:

14 ALL ACCESS PASSES for Leads at $175 Regular/$160 Students and
4 ALL ACCESS PASSES for Follows at $190 Regular/$175 Students.
2 DANCE ONLY PASSES at $65 Regular/$65 Students

*Extra Activities -- Arrive Early, Stay Late -- Disneyland!*

San Diego is sunny and mild, most other places places are cold and wet. Why not give yourself the best dance vacation ever? Start off with Swingin' the New Year in San Diego then stick around for dancing every night, possibly a rock-climbing trip on Wednesday, Disneyland on Thursday (transportation included), and a live band (CJ Hutchinson Band) just for the fusionistas at Ciao Bella on Thursday night (only $8). Rock out with the Fusion Exchange from Friday through Sunday. Then enjoy more great dancing at a special alternative Milonga just for us.

Start your year off RIGHT!
