Fusku is an energetic and fun dance style that pulls you in from the
very first steps! It’s a Finnish version of the American East Coast
Swing, combining a relaxed vibe, clear rhythm, and easy accessibility,
making it a perfect dance for beginners in social dancing.
Fusku fits a wide range of music genres, such as rock’n’roll, swing,
Finnish pop (iskelmä), and even rap if needed, so there’s always
something enjoyable to dance to. It’s also a long-standing favorite of
Finnish ‘lavatanssi’ culture.
This dance, and partner dancing in general, is an excellent way to spend
time with friends or meet new people. Although partner dancing is
traditionally associated with gender roles, the key in partner dances is
the lead/follow dynamic, not gender. You can easily choose your dance
partner, whether it’s your best friend, regardless of gender. We rotate
partners, so you don’t need your own partner to participate. If you
prefer, feel free to dance with your own partner.
Our studio comfortably accommodates around 30 people dancing at the same
time.
The class will be taught by our club’s own coaches, Juha-Matti and
Janita.
Instructions:
It’s best to choose comfortable, movement-friendly clothing for the
course. Flat-heeled dance shoes or other indoor shoes that don’t mark
the floor are ideal for R’n’S dances. Outdoor shoes are not allowed on
the dance floor. You can also slip socks over your shoes to make them
more slippery. Since our classes can get quite energetic, we recommend
bringing a water bottle and a small towel. Also, bring along a friendly
and relaxed attitude — allow others the joy and space to learn as well.
