Fusion Dance Teacher Training returns to Berlin in 2025. You’ll experience an even more refined, hands-on approach focused on skill-building and growth.
Experienced instructors and pioneers in the Fusion world, Flouer Evelyn (Turin, Italy) and Mark Carpenter (SF, USA), will guide you through the different modules, tailored to level up your teaching and dancing.
The entire program is meant to work through a range of skills covering everything from foundational movements to effective teaching techniques, with direct feedback on your own material. It’s a unique opportunity to learn in Berlin from two instructors who’ve helped shape Fusion dance from the beginning.

(Module 4 participants have a full pass, since they will be teaching.)
🚀 Evening activities including social dancing and class previews.
🚀 Ability to ask the teaching staff for individualized support during the whole week.
🚀 Social time and rest built in so we don’t burn out together.
** In our effort to make this training accessible to as many people as possible, we’re offering a sliding scale option. If you’re able to pay a bit more than the standard tuition, your contribution will directly support those who may not be able to pay the full price. If you need financial assistance, once accepted, we’ll do our best to work with you to find an amount that works within your means.
Applications:
Applications are open, round one closes Jan 13th
What the application process? The deadlines?
🎟️ Applications are an important part of this experience. Because this is such a tailored program, we want to get to know you a little before we spend a whole week with you.
🎟️ A video of your dancing is required, even for Module One! If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth an entire novel. It is so helpful for us to see you dance, so thanks for grabbing your friend at the social and having them take a video of you.
🎟️ Deadlines: First round of applications close on January 13th, 2025.
🎟️ If we are not full after the Jan 13th deadline we will do rolling monthly admissions, you will get notified of acceptance at the end of each month, until we are full.
