The world is polarized by people who are incredible at technology, and those who struggle to use the microwave. Ever met someone who takes apart devices "just for fun" - the same devices you swear at and slap with your hand in frustration - they tinker with those for fun. They like the challenge. This graphic is dedicated to you beautiful people.

Fusion mixes the best of free form dance with the best of partner dancing. No defined dance style, and you just dance with lead-follow, in any way that feels good. Depending on the venue, you will see jazz moves, slow dance, contemporary, everything... some of the guys even know how to do lifts. Each song you are mostly likely with a different partner.

I didn't really discover Fusion properly until 2019! Unbelievable it took me that long, because there are venues all over the bay area.

Unlike the [[Ecstatic_Dance|ecstatic dance]] events (which I also love) there I haven't seen people rolling around on the floor... the music is often a mixture of jazz pop and... well anything. I want to go to more and more of these events, but the first big one I discovered (thanks to my friends Lindsey and Amanda) blew me away.

<b>The idea</b>: Send to your friends and ask them where they rank you. If you can't figure out how to download and then send is image to them... well you kind of already know the answer.  :)

PS: You can also just sent the URL.... I believe in you - you can do this without asking your friend's kids. I believe in you!

There's no device on earth you can't figure out how to turn on. Of course you can't turn on your own girlfriend - probably you don't even have one - but at least you can fix your friend's DVR setup and then you'll want to install smart lights, just because you can. You understand how to talk to Alexa better than you'll ever talk to a real human, but the world has a place for people like you. Millennia's are learning to use tables before they wean off breastfeeding - or maybe even before they start - and they use Instagram at 1000 miles per minute by the time they learn to talk. In the meantime, you can barely figure out that God-awful Facebook interface to see pictures of your friends new kid.

This dance is every second week on Saturday nights, and I decide to photograph their schedule for 2019. Sadly in 2020 covid hit, so it's on hiatus.
 
 
All you grandpas out there need someone to help turn on your sound system (assuming it's not vinyl), so be just nice to those little smug terds that they will help you when you ask them. And when that fails, threaten to turn off the modem or cut the power to the house if they do not. You probably don't know how to do either of those things, but they will be too scared to call your bluff.
