Welcome to Fusion Dance Carroll! | | |
Dance & Tumbling Education are Important!
It is our aim to develop strong bodies with an appreciation of movement and music.
The study of dance and tumbling can help students to develop a positive self-concept, be motivated to be physically fit, manage stress and increase strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance, and agility. Dance and tumbling provide opportunities for the development of creative capacities, skills of leadership and social interaction, and seeking new friendships.
Studio Policy
No matter what the objective of the students, whether for recreation, education or preparation for a professional career, a foundation of technique is essential for any dance or tumbling at any level. Accomplishments can be made only if the student attends class regularly. If the student must miss class and wants to make up that time, an alternate class is available. We must know if your child cannot attend class before the class begins.
Check out our website www.fusiondance-carroll.com. Newsletters, calendars, events and other information will be uploaded to our website regularly. We will not be handing out any paper newsletters, so please watch your emails for newsletters and updates. Become our friend on Facebook to receive up-to-date information on what is happening at the studio.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the season, please email us, fusiondancecarrollia@gmail.com. We ask that you do not private message any instructors or Fusion staff.
We are looking forward to another GREAT dance and tumbling season!

Auto Pay will be initiated the 10th of each month, and depending on your form of payment, you will see it go through 1-2 business days after it's initiated. Auto pay will be used for all charges, not just tuition, including costumes, competition fees, music fees, recital media fees, etc. If you wish to choose an alternate form of payment, you need to then pay at our front desk BEFORE the 10th of each month.

For any declined payments, if your balance is not paid within the week, there will be a $15 late fee added.

Attire:
All students (dance and tumbling) should wear clothes they are free to move in. It is always better to have something tighter fitting so we can see their bodies and correctly assist their placement and posture. We strongly encourage our female dancers and tumblers to wear a fitted top, or a sports bra underneath.
Hair must be pulled back out of their faces.
