Fusion Instructor Intensive
Make Every Student Amazing
Teach Lessons That Work — for Every Student, Every Partner, Every Dance
One Real Reason So Many Lessons Don’t Stick
Most dance teachers care deeply about their students — but what we teach often only works in specific conditions.
We teach moves that require our partner to have a specific frame at a specific moment — seems reasonable, right?
We teach advanced technique that can't be used with beginners — which makes sense, but maybe there's another way.
Basically, we teach awesome, powerful dance techniques...that often only work if the partner knows them too.
Imagine being your student:
They take a class, learn a really cool technique — and then can only use it with half the people they dance with...or maybe even just 10%.
How is something supposed to stick if you can only practice it in 10% of your dances?
And maybe you can relate? Maybe you’ve had dances where you couldn’t use 10+ techniques you love & each time that happens, it gets a little more frustrating & a bit harder to have an amazing dance.
This isn’t a failure — it’s the norm. But maybe it’s time for something different.
"Prepare to be transformed..."
Andrew Smith
Fusion Teacher & DJ

This event exists to change the norm.
At Make Every Student Amazing, you’ll learn how to teach in a way that actually works — for every student with every partner — even if their partner never learned the technique.
💬 Note: It might sound like one of those ‘just do this one secret trick’ gimmicks — but the truth is, it takes two things...
...one somewhat simple shift you can apply right away, & one deeper transformation that takes more work...& completely changes how your students learn.
The Shift: What You’ll Learn
✅ Lessons that work across levels — from complete beginners to seasoned dancers
💬 Two Language shifts that inspire & clarify — without confusion, shame, or contradiction (the somewhat simple shift)
💡 From "fixed foundations" into "reaction-ready" techniques that adapt in real-time (the deeper transformation work)
🌍 Real examples from Dance Ninjas around the world — with practical tools & proven strategies you can use right away.
The Outcome for Your Students
Your students don’t go to dance lessons just to learn new stuff.
They want to feel amazing on the dance floor — & know others feel amazing dancing with them...as often as possible.
So let's help your students use 100% of what you teach, with 100% of their partners, 100% of the time.
Now that's going to keep them coming back!
Ready to make that difference?
👉 All teachers welcome. No partner needed.
👉 Works with Fusion, Blues, Tango, Lindy, WCS, Contact Improv, & every partner dance style.
Yes, it's a bold claim...and Andrew guarantees it — by definition the true fundamentals of dance work in all dances — the key is in discovering them.

10+ Years Later — Still Transforming Dancers
"...10 years ago, I was in my early days as an Argentine tango teacher. What can an Argentine tango dancer learn from a swing dancer?!
Andrew made a deep & lasting impression on my approach to both learning & teaching…"

“12+ years after joining Dance Ninjas, I still use what I learned. That mindset shift completely changed how I connect on the floor. I'm not perfect, but even now, I challenge myself, stay engaged, and make a lot of dances a lot more fun.”
