Part-Time Competition Teams - No Audition Needed!
This competition program is for dancers Kindergarten-12th grade.  These groups have been created for our dancers who would love to have more performance opportunities and technical instruction without the full-time competition team commitment.

​
Fusion will take a 1.25 hour tap & hip-hop class (30 min tap tech and 45 minute hip hop) and 1.5 hour musical theatre jazz & ballet class per week (two days per week commitment with one class on each day).  They will perform/compete a hip-hop and musical theatre jazz dance. Dancers will need to enroll in both classes to participate on the Fusion Team.
