FUSION

A mix and match genre that has grown due to the globalization of ethnic music- for example: Flamenco-Arabic fusion combines

Spanish style dance with oriental dance, and is performed to music that is similarly blended. But fusion can embody mixing Middle Eastern dance elements

with anything from Ballet to Bollywood, from hip-hop to contemporary jazz technique. Tribal Fusion has grown as a genre unto itself, with much mixing

and melding of ATS style dance with other dance forms. Costuming for this style can range from wild rock and roll and Gothic influences to reflecting the

ethnicities it is co-mingling with; or even simple jazz-type pants and tops that call to mind Seveties style modern or interpretive dance.
