Join us for an incredible night of music and Fusion dancing 
featuring Boston's own Amy Kucharik & Friends with Benefits 
returning for a second year. In addition to excellent live 
music, we are pleased to announce there will be fusion music 
sets by DJ Flynnrider!

At 7:30, Kelly and Ken will teach a fusion dance lesson.

Who is Amy and Friends With Benefits?

Amy Kucharik, a talented singer/songwriter from Somerville 
and familiar face around the Boston dance scene, is a 
dancer's dream musician. On her ukulele, she has immense 
musical range and her influences range from ragtime blues, 
country, and folk, to reggae, funk and infectious, danceable 
swing. Her band, Friends With Benefits, will have you on 
your feet in no time. The songs are catchy and sexy, and we 
invite you to listen closely to Amy's witty (sometimes 
dark-humored) lyrics.

Check out Amy's latest album, "Cunning Folk" at 
amykucharik.com.

Why "Bread and Bones"?

It's the title of a brilliant Amy Kucharik song off her EP, 
"Dance Crush Blues." Take a listen and you'll know why we 
chose it for our theme.

Tell me more about Fusion dancing!

Fusion is partner dancing that freely combines multiple 
dance aesthetics and musical genres. It means time to bust 
out those Tango, Ballroom, Salsa, Swing, Blues, etc. moves. 
Partner connection and musicality are key. Want to learn 
more? Check out the complimentary lesson taught by Kelly and 
Ken at 7:30 p.m.!

What if I am not a dancer?

No problem! This event is open to everyone (dancer and 
non-dancers alike)! We will have part of the room set up 
with chairs so you can enjoy the live music.
