Hygge inFusion is an LGBTQ-centered fusion dance weekender in Washington, DC. This retreat will take you on a deep dive into close embrace as well as slower, smaller, more intimate dance movements. Our goal will be to explore together, and get dancers more comfortable with, these specific qualities of movement in a consensual, non-sexual space.
Theme: Coziness/Hygge.
What is hygge? It’s a Scandinavian concept of coziness and comfort that has spread well beyond its culture of origin.

Our main day will be Saturday, Feb. 3, with a daytime workshop venue in quiet Edgewood and an evening venue on the bustling strip of H St. NE. Attendance for the full event will be limited to 25 people, while the evening socials will be able to accommodate more than twice that.
We’re working on additional programming for Sunday Feb. 4 in the Dupont Circle neighborhood! Confirmed partnership with First Sunday Fusion on Sunday night.
