Dance FUSION was started in 2000/2001 school year. The performing company is an extra-curricular activity that allows students on our campus to share their artistic talent with their school and community while enhancing their expression of dance.
The dancers are required to attend a three-day workshop from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Morro Bay High the week before school starts. The workshop entails specialized master classes and learning choreography from three different instructors. The choreography learned at the workshop will be performed throughout the year.
