Description: Fusion dance company was founded in 1983 by a student named Paula Franklin who felt a need for more student choreography on campus. It was the forerunner of Brown's now much expanded student-run dance community. As its name implies, Fusion is, in fact, formed by a wide variety of dance styles. Recent years have showcased Hip Hop, Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Pointe, Tap, African, Chinese, Japanese, Belly Dance, Samba, and Rumba amongst many others.

Time Commitment: Fusion rehearses for 6 hours per night on each Wednesdays and Sundays throughout the year and holds an annual show in March.

How To Get Involved: Auditions are held once per semester, in September and April.
