Fusion Dance & Well-being Retreat May 2026

 

Fusion Dance & Well-being Retreat – 4th Edition ✨

From Friday evening, May 22nd to Monday, May 25th, 2025 (Pentecost Long Weekend)

Treat yourself to a sanctuary of dance and relaxation in the heart of the countryside. For this 4th edition, we have designed a 3-day journey to dive deep into Fusion Dance—a co-creative partner dance—connection, and rejuvenation.



🌿 The Concept: A Collective Adventure

More than just a workshop, this retreat is a collaborative experience. Here, we don't just "consume" dance; we create it together. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or exploring Fusion for the first time, your unique presence will enrich our group of (maximum) 30 enthusiasts.

On the agenda: 15 hours of workshops, fusion dance, yoga, sharing circles, and magical evenings. 

The Spirit: A fair-priced event to support our artists, run by volunteers, where every participant contributes to the harmony of the stay.

This retreat is a living organism: the earlier we register, the richer the program becomes! Early bookings allow me to confirm musicians and invite surprise guests. Together, let’s give this edition the scale it deserves.

👉 Registration

🏡 The Setting: A Natural Sanctuary

Imagine a lovingly renovated farmhouse perched on a hilltop at the gateway to the Gers region, just 30 minutes from Toulouse. Our hosts, Anne and Jean-Pierre (dancers themselves!), are opening the doors of their beautiful estate to us.

  • A magnificent barn converted into a dance floor with wooden flooring.

  • Absolute calm to reconnect with yourself.

  • On-site massage available with Anne (by reservation).



🥘 Flavors & Delights

The dance begins on your plate! Hédia (Ethik & Toque) returns to delight us with her vibrant, local, organic, vegan, and gluten-free cuisine. A true culinary journey that has been a unanimous favorite in previous years.

  • Friday evening: Please bring your own food for a potluck dinner (auberge espagnole) from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

  • Breakfasts: Self-managed. Tea and coffee will be provided. Please bring anything specific you need for your morning routine.

  • Saturday: Morning Yoga, technical workshops, and a Fusion Party with Live Musicians.

  • Sunday: Exploration, open workshops, and an evening with Live Music.

📝 Practical Info

  • Collaborative Mode: Each participant helps with the life of the house (one short shift for meal prep or tidying up to keep our sanctuary clean).

  • Deadline: To set up the meal logistics, you must register by May 8th at the latest. Note: Kitchen access is strictly reserved for our chef.

Retraite fusion Octobre 2025 (3eme edition)

  Retraite de Fusion et bien-être à la campagne 3-5 Octobre 2025 Tout un week-end autour de la danse Fusion, pour un groupe d'une trentaine de danseurs de différents horizons et niveaux, pour s'enrichir mutuellement, prendre le temps de se connaître, d'échanger... et danser. Il est important de comprendre que bien qu’une partie de l'organisation soit le fait d'un petit groupe de danseurs passionnés, l'idée est qu'il soit un moment de rencontre en mode collaboratif et que chaque participant y apporte une partie de soi. Également, de part cette volonté, en regard des tarifs, cet événement ne cherche pas à faire de bénéfice: les organisateurs sont tous bénévoles, mais nous avons pris soin de pouvoir rémunérer décemment les différents intervenants (cours, musiciens).

Spring Fusion retreat 2025 June 6-9

Spring Fusion retreat 2025 June 6-9  => version en français ici ! Here is the second edition of the Fusion retreat, this time over a 3-day weekend: from Friday evening to Monday evening. A whole weekend around Fusion dance, for a group of about thirty dancers from different backgrounds and levels, to enrich each other, take the time to get to know each other, to exchange... with a focus on well-being and co-creative dance. It is important to understand that although part of the organization is the work of a small group of passionate dancers, the idea is that it is a moment of meeting in collaborative mode and that each participant brings a part of themselves. In terms of prices, this event does not seek to make a profit: the organizers are all volunteers, but we have taken care to be able to decently pay the various artists (classes, musicians), a cook preparing quality food and a welcoming venue. Register via this bulletin before the end of May. The venue A farmhouse renovate...
