Congratulations to our Fusion Dance Company Members for the 2023-2024 season!
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to offer professional dance training in all genres of dance to young, aspiring dancers. We strive to offer frequent and abundant opportunities that will enhance their dance knowledge and training. We work as mentors to dancers and nurture them in a positive learning environment. We provide ample opportunities for all dancers to perform and compete with dance as an art form.
Goals & Purpose
The main objective to Fusion Dance Company is to give dancers who want to take dance to the next level the training, guidance and opportunities to do so. The Company program is designed to encourage individual progress through their dance education, providing accelerated technical training and numerous performing opportunities. The Company also serves as a guide for older dancers on their path toward a professional dance-related career or college. We will achieve these goals by requiring that each dancer trains in weekly technique classes and rehearsals, participates in performances, attends professional dance conventions and maintains a passion and love for the art of dance!
Mini Fusion
1st Grade - 3rd/4th Grade
Mini Fusion focuses on building the well-rounded dancer, and introduces the competition environment. Dancers will learn all styles of dance and compete choreographed routines with the company. This young group of dancers will be exposed to all genres of dance with accelerated training, so they may build the foundation of the proper technique and skill set. Mini Fusion also focuses on building good self-esteem, understanding of teamwork, attention to detail, self-awareness, and the beginning stages of time management and accountability. Dancers will learn routines that keep them active and loving what they do!
NOTE: depending on the season, many times we may create 2 Mini Fusion groups based on age and experience. We call them “Mini Stars” and “Mini Crew!” We love new dancers joining our dance family and this age is a great time to become a part of Fusion!
