MYRTLEWOOD FUSION INTENSIVE

JUNE 2026

Myrtlewood Fusion Intensive is an extended immersion for intermediate and advanced fusion dancers seeking focused training time to refine their craft.

MFI’s curated program brings together an intimate cohort of
50 dedicated dancers with 7 exceptional instructors in the serene forests of Oregon to dive into distinct but complementary partner dance styles: 
Argentine Tango, Urban Kiz, and Brazilian Zouk.

Our curriculum emphasizes a foundation of cultural & historical context, solo movement training, and collaborative study to support a deep and
integrated dance education.

Our Educational

Vision 

MFI’s vision is to

  1. Evolve the culture of study and practice in the fusion scene. 

  2. Inspire curiosity, respect, and appreciation for each year’s focus dance styles.

  3. Ground partner dance education in a foundation of solo movement training.

  4. Offer curriculum centered on the distinct technical, musical, and cultural roots of multiple dances. 

  5. Cultivate an intimate and collaborative environment for integrating, embodying, and creatively fusing the material.

We believe that immersion is the most generative environment to facilitate this vision. Nestled amongst the evergreens, we train and play while the amazing camp staff ensure we are well fed and cared for. In an intimate container of 50 dedicated dancers, the educational experience is tailored through an application process, small leveled cohorts, and personalized training pods. These immersive elements allow us to drop in deeply with each other and the material over the course of our week together.

  • "...my favorite part though, was seeing experienced dancers with diverse dance backgrounds come together in a such a unique way. Everyone was dedicated refining what they know, learning new styles, and passionately focusing for days at a time. My new benchmark for what a spectacular dance weekend/week can achieve. "

  • This is, by far, the best dance event I have ever attended. I am so grateful to have had this experience and loved every bit of it—the people, the organization, the location, the dancing. It was more than just a dance event; it felt like a real holiday for me. I don’t feel exhausted coming home, but energized—full of plans and ideas on how to continue growing in my dancing and event organizing.
