A bit about Ren:
Hi! I’m Ren!
I’m a black and trans Fusion dance instructor, organizer and the Creative Director of the Pacific Fusion Collective 501c3 out of San Francisco, CA. I've been an educator for over a decade and have been teaching Fusion Dance since 2018. My dance education lies in West coast Swing, Tango, Blues, Kizomba Hip Hop, and Zouk. In the last several years I've traveled as a dancer and/or instructor across nearly a dozen states and at least 5 countries. Fusion has become the dance community where I can express myself authentically and creatively without judgment.The Fusion community is my home, and teaching has become my means of sharing the love I have for Fusion dance with my community.
