“I believe that partner dance can really heal so much of what is going on in our world, with all the differences and conflicts we have,” Davis said. Closing ceremonies will take place Monday morning. Davis explained, Sunday night is going to be yummier and more tender as opposed to the Saturday night rage and party. Sunday evening, the original founder of Inclusion Fusion and Foothills Dance will lead the group in a blindfolded partner dance. “We are going to go more into slow dancing and talk more about when intimacy comes up on the dance floor, how we navigate it in our community how we navigate it on and off the dance floor, what it brings up for us internally and just get a little bit closer and more connected,” Davis said. Sunday will be a day of deep connection and intimacy, Davis said.

Saturday will include a day of workshops around partner dancing, with good fundamentals such as framework, dips, turns and how to move safely, followed by live music in the afternoon. “They built this sacred dance floor they call ‘Oya.’ We are going to gather there and have a cacao ceremony, drinking cacao (from Peru, a sacred chocolate elixir that can take you into an altered state that can open your heart and be very powerful) with our intentions and then dropping into a whole ecology of dance, embodying the different elements of dance and then move into our social dance with a number of DJ’s.” “Anders and his mother, Shama, are the owners of the land,” Davis said. With a goal of bringing the workshop elements of a traditional conference along with the intention of a conscious festival, Harvest Fusion runs October 7 through October 10, kicking off Friday night with opening ceremonies around the kiva fire and then coming to the dance floor, Davis said. Often, there is a cacao ceremony to really bring forth the heart, opening the heart, and then dance as medicine stirs up our intention and opens the portal, so to speak, as what the medicine of dance can bring.” “We come together and activate our prayers and intentions,” Davis said. She explained a conscious festival is about setting intention. As an advocate of conscious festivals, she wanted to do something with more “direct intention around the magic of what dance can bring” and created the festival as a mix of those two things. The culture is designed to specifically partner dance with everybody – to share dances in community with different people.” She also emphasized it is open to all ages.ĭavis was a professional, full-time, west coast swing dance champion, which meant she attended a lot of conventions in hotels with workshops, competitions, and social dance each night.

This particularly is a partner dance festival.”ĭavis explained that does not mean you have to come with a partner. “He is very much about bringing community together and supporting one another to create a passion and dreams come forward. “Anders has held many festivals on the land,” Davis said.
Harvest Fusion is four days and three nights of dance, workshops, yoga and more dance.
It was July so we thought we had two and half months and we thought that we could make it happen.”Īnders offered to grow food to be eaten during the event and that harvest inspired the name for the weekend. I was not considering doing a festival because I already had my hands full running the dance, but when I sat down and looked at the calendar, we saw a full moon happening the first week in October. “They said we think you should do a fusion festival of Anders’ land.
