Soca Fusion is a BIPOC founded and led company centered in dance and wellness. We offer a range of Soca dance classes, workshops, performances, and wellness programming. Soca Fusion aims to empower anyBODY and everyBODY through movement. We strive for people to feel and connect with their bodies while vibing to Soca music, one of the many sounds of the Caribbean. We want all of us to BE and FEEL free, full of confidence, and joy, and be loved in all of the places we go. This is significant because we from marginalized communities have been taught, directly or indirectly, that liberation is not possible. Through dance, we can experience joy, confidence, and limitless unconditional love. Soca Fusion brings this self-empowerment and a sense of freedom. We also recognize that wellness is at the root of it all. Our people need to move their bodies and get the exercise they deserve, especially during hard times when movement is scarce and financial hardships are at a high. Through dance, Soca Fusion brings wellness on all levels to BIPOC people. From dance classes, workshops, and performances, we involve all members of our communities to join and feel great within their bodies.
