About us
Who are we? Three people who are absolutely passionate about Fusion Dance, so we decided to bring it to Vienna!

Elia (Eli)
Fusion is Elia’s happy place. They discovered it in 2021 while living in Valencia, Spain and haven’t stopped dancing since, experiencing Fusion as a liberating possibility to combine moves and patterns from their extensive but somewhat scattered partner dance experience, all while moving with freedom, joy and intuition.
With their main background being in Contemporary Dance, Blues, Tango Argentino and the Liberato Method, they are continuously expanding their vocabulary across various social dance styles. These days they enjoy learning Forró, Zouk, Kizomba and West Coast Swing and are excitedly bringing these influences back to the Fusion dance floor.
They teach Fusion, Tango, Movement Flow and Conscious Dance locally and internationally and enjoy DJing occasionally. Eli is also committed to creating and supporting safeR dance spaces - by facilitating consent workshops, training and co-ordinating the Vienna care-team and joining/leading care-teams at international festivals.
Andy
Andy’s dance journey began 10 years ago with Lindy Hop, where he fell in love with the playful rhythms of swing. Over time, he explored various dance styles and eventually found his main passion in Brazilian Zouk.
Now, he’s expanding his knowledge and skills by participating in the Fusion teacher training program. For Andy, the essence of dance lies in connection—those moments where two people move together effortlessly, fully in tune with each other and the music.
This deep love for connection and co-creation drives his passion for organizing Fusion dance events and sharing the joy of this unique dance style.
Hede
Hede’s dance journey began in 2012 with Capoeira in Croatia, where she first learned to turn her body and mind upside down through the Brazilian art of combat dance. From there she explored Contact Improvisation, spent a year with Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz, dipped into Tango Argentino, and danced many joyful Lindy Hop nights - until she finally found her dance home in Blues and, especially, Fusion.
Fusion gives her what she had been searching for all along: connection, co-creation, and the freedom to weave different movement languages into something new. She loves the playful practice of curiosity, listening, and shared creation.
With a background as a language and yoga teacher, she loves to design spaces where exploration and connection take center stage. Currently training as a systemic coach, she brings all of herself into Fusion. Besides dancing, she organizes events in Vienna, teaches, and occasionally DJs. At international festivals she supports care teams. Her heart is in creating safeR spaces where everybody can grow, play, and enjoy the richness of Fusion together.
