Dance Fusion Collective
2026: 24/7 DANCE FUSION COLLECTIVE AUDITIONS
OPEN TO ALL DANCERS AGE 6-18
For dancers interested in a more intense commitment, our Dance Fusion Collective provides an exciting and fulfilling dance education. Dance Fusion Collective (DFC) strives to give each student a genuine respect for dance and the performing arts, encourage teamwork, and instill a passion for learning and performing.
The Conservatory & Elite Level Groups focus on advanced artistic development and post–high school preparation, and is designed for dancers who demonstrate exceptional commitment, discipline, and passion for pursuing dance at a pre-professional level.
Collective Company Groups focus on more rigorous technical and artistic development, and are designed for committed dancers who are passionate about performing and looking for more opportunities to develop their craft. We provide the opportunity to train with the best instructors from across the country, the ability to share their love of dance with the community, and the resources to take their dance training to the next level. We pride ourselves on being family friendly.
This program is for the serious dancer, and several of our dancers have gone on to perform professionally.
