What is fusion?
Fusion is a genre of contemporary American partner dance that focuses on combining different dance and music styles together into a seamless whole. This can be as simple as doing a style of dance to a non-traditional music genre, but most often involves using steps and techniques from multiple dance styles in one dance. The cornerstones of fusion are musicality, connection, and creativity, encouraging dancers to be inspired by both the music and their partners.
