THE ORIGINAL FLY FUSION CLASS IN THE HOME OF FLY FUSION
For Spring Session, we're switching things up and teaching a brand new choreography! This will be broken into two parts. Take one or both classes. All levels are welcome for Part One!
Welcome to our new home at Menari Body Works! We are so excited to be a part of this gorgeous space! Located at 121 E. Cherry St. in Mankato, MN. Come in through the front door and use the door to the right to go downstairs to the studio.
Hey, I'm Violet! I was born in Mankato and have been teaching here since 2011. I also teach online and in different parts of the world. Wherever I am, my goal is to create a supportive community and fun dance experience. I've been told my passion about dance is contagious, so watch out ;)
Comfort and ease of movement is the priority! Students generally wear leggings or sweats with a t-shirt, tank top, or sports bra. Wear what makes you feel good! You do not ever have to show your belly. Lots of students dance barefoot, some with socks, and some wear clean dance shoes. You can optionally wear a belt or hip scarf to accentuate your hip movements. Don't overthink it ;)
If I had a dollar for every time I heard this I'd be rich! ;) I LOVE teaching absolute beginners. My goal is to make you feel welcomed and capable of the dance shenanigans we get up to. I remember my first dance class and how terrifying (and exciting!) it was to finally take the plunge, and it changed my life. I teach growth mindset techniques which stress the fact that talent is learned and not inherent and in order to get good at anything, you've gotta suck at it first. So, come on in.. the water's fine!
I've had students from ages 10-75 in my classes and I think that's one thing that makes dance so special! This class is comprised of mostly adults and may occasionally feature some strong language, but mature kids attending with their parents are welcome. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about this!
If you have an unanswered question, please send an email :)
This spring, we're switching things up and teaching a choreography! This class will learn part one of a dance we will complete during the spring session. Dancers are welcome to attend both Part One and Part Two, or just one class. For Part One, there's no previous experience required; ALL levels welcome. There will be a performance opportunity later this year for those interested. This is completely optional and NOT expected or required :)
Extra special spring session: We're doing choreography! In this class, dancers will learn part two of a dance we will complete during the spring session. Students can take both parts or just one. Part two will be slightly more advanced and move at a faster pace. We recommend some dance experience. There will be a performance opportunity later this year for those interested. This is completely optional and NOT expected or required :)
