dance fusion

Mixed movement styles

Dance fusion is the blending of two or more dance styles into a unified form, combining techniques, movements, or aesthetics from different traditions: Her style is a fusion of hip-hop and contemporary ballet.

The term covers everything from belly dance-flamenco hybrids to jazz-African combinations.

Fusion dancing often emerges when dancers trained in multiple disciplines create something that belongs fully to neither source tradition.
