About

Who are we?A multicultural dance crew at NC State University. We perform at university events to uplift and promote other dance teams, styles, and cultures through other on-campus organizations. In addition, we travel and perform off-campus to support other teams and grow our connections within the dance community in and beyond North Carolina. Our team’s individuals are diverse in background, but we all come together to create sets that show our love for dance and each other.

Our History"The Beginning" 2002-2003
Fusion was first conceptualized in the Spring of 2002 when two graduating NCSU Asian Students Association members, Hyejin Ann and Yumi Pyon, were inspired to do something new and fun for the upcoming ASA annual show, Asia Night. They came up with the idea of creating a small dance group to perform for that year’s festivities. The two gathered a group of current ASA officers and members and called themselves “Fusion.” Under the choreography of Senior Valerie Virtudazo and Sophomore Mark Olorvida, the newly formed troupe performed two dances – a cultural and a hip-hop dance. This was meant to be a one-time deal, a fun experience for graduating seniors.
The following year, pleased with the previous Asia Night success, the Asian Students Association wanted to bring back the idea of an ASA dance performance for Asia Night 2003. Headed by Freshman Annie Yee, a team of interested ASA members assembled a month prior to the big show for preparations. Naming themselves “Fusion” after the former ASA dance group, the team performed a hip-hop routine.
That summer, energized and influenced by the Asia Night performance, Annie Yee and fellow ASA 2003 dance member, Kawan Rojanatavorn, formed a dance partnership. They were determined not to let Fusion become another “one time deal” for the approaching school year. Together with Mark Olorvida (co-choreographer for the original Fusion) and Virna Virtudazo they transformed “Fusion” into a real dance team."Mom and Pop Dance Team" 2003-2004
During their first full year of operation, Fusion continued working as a part of the Asian Students Association. The team made it a point to always incorporate cultural dancing along with hip-hop, like the original group had intended in 2002. Fusion was fresh and new. Nobody knew who they were, so they weren’t pressured to be perfect. They were simply there to dance and have a good time. Mainly supervised and choreographed by Virna Virtudazo, Annie Yee, Mark Olorvida, and Kawan Rojanatavorn, the team grew close without knowing it. Virna and Mark became the parental “mom & pop” figures, with Annie and Kawan being the helpful “sis & bro.”"Explosion" 2004-2010
Fusion separated from the Asian Students Association and became its own club at NC State in the Fall of 2004. Lead by Co-Presidents Annie Yee and John Kim, Fusion stepped up and made it their goal to be seen by their peers, the university, and the cultural community. However, with great ambition comes misfortune. Fusion underwent harsh trials within their team, which ultimately brought them closer together. By the end of the school year Fusion had grown into a tight-knit family. Unbeknownst to them, Fusion also became a dancing force to be reckoned with. From that point on, Fusion raised the bar for dance teams campus-wide. A bar that was to only get higher and higher with each coming year.
