And welcome back to Idaho today fuse.
It's a dance studio born out of a passion
for our for dance and desire to keep
dancing beyond the childhood years.
So Shannon here is actually going to tell
us about her studio and the showcase
that they have coming up this weekend.
I love the purpose of your dance company,
right? This is something where you're
not only trying to instill love of dance,
but have people carry it throughout their
life regardless of age or where they're
at or what they want to do with it.
The whole point is just to keep
moving and dancing, right?
So tell us a little more about fuse.
And I mean,
it's it's pretty obvious which makes
this company so unique and special.
But in your own words,
can you describe that
so fuse is a for profit dance company?
We specialize in jazz and
contemporary and we're all adults.
So in this area there after you graduate,
there's not a lot of opportunities
for dancers to keep dancing,
so we pride ourselves in being
able to work with people who
have family and kids and are in
school or have careers and jobs.
And we pretty much just get everybody
schedule and we work together.
And just come together and we're
all really good friends and we
just create things together.
I love that I love that cause again.
You know it's about that community
and also that flexibility, right?
Absolutely like any parent watching
who has a little one that dances.
You know that the schedules can
be really difficult and it is.
It's it's typically focused on a
certain age range, so having that
outlet for those that just love dancing.
Yes, it's so important. All right.
So you actually have a showcase
coming up at jump.
Tell us about that.
So our showcase is this weekend,
so we're going to have a 2:00 PM
show and a 7:00 PM show at jump.
It's in the pioneer room on the 6th
floor and this is our first show
that we're going to be performing
on stage and in person since 2019,
so we're super super excited
to get this going right,
so the show is called Bean.
It's our 8th annual dance concert
and we basically are taking the
audience through our movement.
Exploration of being able to.
Of a person's capacity to feel feelings,
temporary, complete stopping,
and transmigration.
The show is comprised of
three different sections.
Each section is about 15 to 18 minutes long,
and then there's 210 minute
intermissions in between.
So total show is about
an hour and 10 minutes,
so it's not too long,
but we're really excited to be able to.
Show the community what
we've been working on.
I'd love that. OK, yeah,
this is gonna be super exciting to finally
return to the stage after such a long pause.
Yes, and we're very very excited.
Guys, you you have a lot of energy
to express, I imagine? Ohh yes, yes.
And I like I like the the theme of of
being right so like you were exploring.
Probably part of the journey that
we've all been going through over
the past couple of years, right?
There's been a lot of self exploration.
Oh, absolutely yeah, I think that's
kind of where we were going with
everything is and each choreographer is.
Able to set up their own theme of their
dances or make it more movement based,
and then we kind of we piece each
section together so it comes together.
It's a more cohesive show.
I love that OK is this something for
everyone? All ages, all ages, yes ages,
I suggest probably 5 and under just for you
know they get fidgety and stuff probably.
But five and above I think it is a wonderful,
wonderful opportunity for everybody
great and expose them to
dance too exactly and get the
whole family dancing right?
Alright, so we're gonna be seeing
a little bit of that performance,
or at least up performance here.
In studio, what do you be
doing here in studio, so
myself and my sister and director is Danny
and Paris are gonna be doing an improv piece.
So marvelous improv is basically where
we just turn on a piece of music and
we let the music dictate what movement
we do and we make it up on the spot.
Ohh so our show is comprised of
having our or our choreography
with our other company members.
But then we also put improv in there to
be able to bring it all together as one
and I can't wait to see how expressive
you feel today. Yes, alright.
So if people want to come and
