This class blends classical ballet and jazz technique with contemporary and modern dance. Students will explore movement with creative freedom and collaborate to create expressive performance pieces that speak to their individual dance experiences. This class regularly involves floor work in the tradition of lyrical and Modern dance. Students are giving the opportunity not only to learn a new range of dance but also to choreograph their own pieces and find new facets of themselves.
Warm Up/WorkoutStudents engage in a rigorous and challenging work out to warm up, which stretches and strengthens every muscle of their body. They are given the chance to practice their balance, flexibility, and physical endurance through the work out. Thankfully, they are able to complete such activities with their friends nearby, as everyone huffs and puffs together to get through the difficult warm-up that allows each dancer to grow.

Choreography and ExplorationStudents are giving about a half hour of class to design their own dances, building off of the various classes they've taken in the past and depending on the new core Fusion is building for them. During Parent Watch, students are given the opportunity to show off the individual work they have been doing. For the End of the Year Performance, students are put in groups to create a dance as one, bouncing off each other's ideas to tell a story and show their talent.
