Justin Johnson
Director
Justin began his dance journey with Contra at a Masonic lodge in Amherst, MA in 2011. He gleefully spun in circles for a few years before moving home to NYC, where he fell in love with both Blues and Fusion. Since then, Justin has hosted at Om Fusion (Seattle’s weekly Fusion dance), DJ'd events on two different continents, and gained a deep appreciation for the community and creativity present in the Fusion scene.
Josh
Operations & Logistics Director
Josh has been dancing for over a decade. It all started in PDX at Tuesday Blues then expanded to WCS, fusion, and micro. He has a deep love for logistics, spreadsheets, food (especially chocolate and cheese), photography, and emergency management. He has been doing logistics/emergency related things for over 20 years on 4 continents and altitudes up to 40,000 feet. He will happily talk to you about his food planning spreadsheets, and being on fire.
Joie Benamor
Community & Brand Manager
After bravely defeating the previous denizen in hand-to-hand combat and rising the ranks of the sociopolitical trash critter government, Joie has now gained the privilege of sitting in the big squishy chair at the top of the tree.
Rémy Baheux
Master of Vibes
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Rémy has explored a whole myriad of dance styles throughout the years. Once he became a dance organizer, he was able to put his passion and heart into the community, helping to kick off and cultivate the Fusion scene in Olympia before moving up to Seattle. He is now a DJ, emcee and event organizer who loves the ability to express and connect through music and dance, and is excited to contribute to the future of the Fusion community.
Emma Sadinsky
Marketing & Volunteer Coordinator
Slipping away from the responsibilities of wrangling one set of feral cats, Emma, for some unknown reason, decided she also needed to wrangle the rest of the jungle and complete the ancient ritual of manually pulling the planets in line so that every feral cat recognizes her as the supreme leader. Emma has accomplished this three times. We keep her because we fear her power.
Ariel Alon
Access & Community Coordinator
Fixated solely on maybe or maybe not existing, Ari has sufficiently collected enough of a following that it has become the most top purchased cryptid tchotchke at the store with the funky font that no one ever really knows how they ended up there.
Cricket Neiss
Project Manager
From the garbage can of a random back alleyway, Cricket has since been promoted to the dumpster behind your local bakery.
Joshua Mclean
Tech
Speaking only from the backest most portion of the brain, Joshua miraculously managed to bring some thoughts to the front, but they could only be deciphered by those that also know how to write code. So we hired him.
