Santa Cruz · Dance Fusion Experience
Dance Freely. Connect Deeply.
A fusion of rhythm, culture, and human connection.
ASCEND is a dance experience that weaves together deep house, kizomba, zouk, afrobeats, and world music into a single, immersive evening. This isn't a performance. It's a space where your body remembers what your mind forgot — how to move, how to connect, how to feel alive.
Come as you are. Move as you feel.
Nina Aman is a Persian belly dancer, sound specialist, and movement facilitator whose work lives at the intersection of ancient tradition and modern dance culture. With deep roots in Zouk and partner dance, she creates environments where people can connect through movement with ease and confidence.
ASCEND is her offering — a space for cultural expression, connection, and embodied experience. Her presence is both artistic and intentional, guiding each evening with the understanding that dance is not just movement, but a doorway to something deeper within ourselves and between each other.
A fusion of deep house, kizomba, and afrobeats layered with Middle Eastern and North African instrumentation. Every beat is chosen to pull you deeper — into the rhythm, into the room, into yourself. The sound is hypnotic, rhythmic, sensual, and grounding.
ASCEND is more than a dance event. It's a cultural and sensory experience. A social gateway for connection. A modern ritual space disguised as nightlife. It's the thing you didn't know you were looking for — until you felt it.
This is where the experience begins. You'll learn the basics of lead & follow for dance fusion — no experience needed. It's specifically designed so that everyone can dance with one another naturally and confidently when the music starts.
🕗 Arrive by 8 PM — the workshop is half the experience. If you miss it, you're missing what makes the rest of the night possible.
Two hours of deep house, kizomba, zouk & afrobeats. Partner dancing, solo expression, and everything in between. This is where you let go.
