"With over 15 years dedicating her life to teaching partner dance, Flouer has a ridiculous amount of experience teaching for both groups and individuals.  From huge ballrooms of hundreds of students to intimate classrooms of just a few couples; from long standing advanced partnerships to individuals who just started dancing, Flouer values it all. 

She is known for her warm, encouraging way of challenging you to grow in your dancing.  She is known for her values of artistry and personal expression, complimented by her ability to break down any movement into incredibly specific detail.  Coming from an academic background, Flouer emphasises contextual dance history and loves offering simple yet profound ways to give structure to your personal improvisations.

And in the end of it all, she’ll help you use your partner dance skills as a metaphor for becoming more confident and relationally skilled in the rest of your life."

"Sia (she/they) is a voice movement artist with international artistic and therapeutic training as a vocalist and dancer. Her specialty lies in Improvisation and Instant Composition.

There was never a time that Sia was not dancing and singing. From a very early age she kept exploring different musical languages and various movement approaches with endless curiosity. After researching, studying, performing, teaching and holding both creative and therapeutic spaces through music, voice, dance, movement, somatics and improvisation for more than 15 years, Sia has fallen in love with partner & social dance.

While today she is actively dancing and exploring an extensive variety of styles and traditions, it appears to be Fusion Dance in particular that allows her to weave all of those areas and components of her work, research and joy together.

In 2024 Sia launched the monthly Fusion Lab in Bern as part of the Fusion Dance Bern Verein, where she invites dancers from all kinds of backgrounds and expertise to co-teach with her.

"Passionate about dance, Lizéa brings a unique perspective shaped by years of experience in movement and music. Formerly a certified sports coach and yoga instructor, they now dedicate themselves to dance and music, integrating body awareness into their teaching.

Specializing in couple dance workshops for bal folk and fusion, they also draw inspiration from forró, blues, west coast swing, and tango. A queer dancer with over 20 years of experience, they foster creativity and diversity, promoting non-gendered partner dance with fluid, interchangeable roles and encouraging dancers to explore movement freely.  

Consent is at the core of their approach, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and empowering space. With a strong musical background, they also bring a keen sense of musicality, helping dancers refine their rhythm and elevate their expression."

Dominic fell in Love with Lindy Hop in 2009. Soon he also started to dance Blues, Tango and Boogie Woogie. He loves to switch between styles and has a strong focus on musicality and leading with the whole body. He has been teaching Lindy Hop and Boogie Woogie, and together with Sia, he recently started teaching weekly Fusion classes in Bern.

"Frankie gave up dancing at the age of four, when she was cast as the Ugly Duckling for a ballet recital and was so offended she quit on the spot. 

She was lured back in 2011 when she began a heated affair with Argentine tango, and has since fallen for a variety of styles from blues and reggaeton to popping and west coast swing (she still hasn’t been back to ballet). On the fusion floor she blends grounded funk and attitude with tight isolations and a LOT of smiling.

She now teaches across the UK and internationally, focusing on developing both creativity and control, and values building concepts in an accessible way to provide an expanded palette of musicality."

Andy started partner dancing over 10 years ago with Lindy Hop, drawn to its playful energy and connection. 

Two years ago, he discovered Fusion and was instantly hooked—diving deep into its creativity, freedom, and musical diversity. Lately, he has also been exploring Brazilian Zouk, bringing in new textures and flow to his dance. Based in Vienna, he organizes local Fusion events, where he also teaches and DJs. His classes focus on connection, musicality, and playful exploration.
