Dancing at Fusia is something I will forever be grateful for. I met so many people who changed my life, shared countless laughs and cries, and most importantly, learned how to express myself through dance both in and out of the studio. At Fusia, we were always pushed to be the best versions of ourselves and never to be someone we weren’t. Even now, I find myself turning on music and dancing it out after a long day or choreographing my own contemporary combo when a song is just too good to ignore. Fusia gave me so much more than I ever could have asked for, and I wouldn’t trade my experience for the world.

We love being a part of the Fusia Dance family. Destiny has been here since she was 4 years old, and every year we have seen so much growth and improvement in her dancing. The teachers truly love what they do, and it shows through their skill, passion, and dedication to each dancer.

They treat Destiny with so much love and care, and they are always so in tune with her.  They can tell when she’s having a tough day and always make her feel supported. The staff is incredible. I can ask a million questions, and they are always patient, kind, and helpful. Fran, the owner, deserves all the success. She has created such a positive, welcoming, and inspiring environment for these kids and families. I recommend Fusia to everyone!

When looking back over the 8 years that I danced with Fusia. To me as an only child, Fusia provided me with a sisterhood that was unlike any sports team I could have ever played on. This type of sisterhood is one that to speak of makes me cry, but it truly is a team of dancers who truly want what is best for each other and will do whatever they can to help the person get there. In terms of my journey within Fusia, as part of Limited Edition company team, I want to highlight a moment that speaks volumes about who Fusia is and the work it speaks to. The moment being my first class is 2013, which was modern with Miss Francesca Marinaro. I remember there were moments in my first class that I wasn't sure what I was doing and Miss Fran noticed that and instead of watching me struggle, jumped right in next to me and did every dance move right next to me to teach me that this isn't a sport that needs to be a specific way that its a safe space for me to be authentically me which looking back taught me more than I could have dreamed. Looking back now, as an alumni at Fusia, I can cry speaking about this moment, now several years later, Miss Fran jumping right in next to me showed me that I have a dance studio that accepts me authentically and believes in my abilities than sees me as an individual with a disability but sees my strengths. The second being that dance is a sport that doesn't ask you to have specific strengths or abilities, its truly about accepting who you individualistically are and learning how to express your thoughts and emotions in a creative way that is through universal language.With that being shared, FUSIA provided me with a team of people who one of those people is Miss Fran, who taught me since my first class that she believes in me sometimes when I didn't believe in me, and now that I believe in me, I have her to thank for that for instilling faith in me and allowing me to dream further than I thought possible!!

Fusia Dance Center is one of those special spaces where dance is more than just movement—it becomes a human experience. Through such a kind and encouraging environment, I’ve deepened my love for dance. The versatility of styles the studio provides makes it both challenging and exciting. For instance, I started with ballet, and later decided to try jazz, modern, and hip hop. They were completely out of my comfort zone, but the supportive environment pushed me to grow and made every experience truly enjoyable. Overall, I’m so grateful to Fusia for not only helping me find my closest friends, but also for shaping me into the person I am today.

Fusia has helped me immensely in many ways, but especially in preparing me for my future. In theater design we talk a lot about how to shape the performers on stage, and having a background knowledge on what goes on onstage helps more than I ever imagined. Fusia also taught me how to be resilient even when I feel like giving up. When I've had a long day or tech process, I am able to persevere because of my time at Fusia. I'm so grateful to have grown up at Fusia and I miss it dearly!!

There are few words that could describe the impact that Fusia Center for the Arts has had on my life. In every story of me, there will be a story of the people I have met, the community I have built, and the love that this place has created in me. In those studio walls, I found a second home and a second family. For a lifetime, I will remember the people that allowed me to grow into the most genuine, authentic version of myself. I will remember the community of teachers that never failed to be understanding and so kind at every bump in the road; and most importantly, I will always remember that through the natural rollercoaster of life, Fusia was my anchor to the ground. A place where I could go to release the burdens that troubled me and do what I love to do most in this world, dance. Now, with the solid foundation Fusia built for me, I am slowly entering the adult dance world. It has been wonderful so far, and I cannot wait to see where the future takes me. Fusia helped shaped me into the person that I am today and for that, I could not be more grateful.

Fusia was my home away from home. I spent so much time there perfecting my craft, cultivating my artistry and finding my voice. Since Fusia I attended DeSales University, graduated 2025 with my B.A. in Dance and Philosophy. Now, I am attending Temple University working towards gaining my M.A. in Dance working to become a Dance Scholar. Fusia will always hold a special place in my heart. Congratulations on season 15!

Our daughter Emma Flagg has been dancing at Fusia Dance Studio for seven years. The transformation in her confidence and artisty is remarkable. The dance teachers are incredibly supportive and talented. Her love of dance has grown so much. Fusia Dance Studio has created a place to make memories to last a lifetime.

Fusia has been such an amazing experience for our family. Both of my girls attend, and we truly feel like part of a family here. The way the teachers and staff treat the dancers with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care means so much to us as parents. It’s not just about dance. It’s about building confidence, friendships, and feeling supported. Watching both of my girls grow and love coming each week has been the best part. We are so grateful to be part of the Fusia family!

We are so incredibly grateful for the impact Fusia Center for the Arts has had on our daughter. Her growth as a dancer both in her technique and her confidence has been amazing to watch. Miss Fran and the entire staff provide a supportive, 'family-first' atmosphere that encourages every child to shine. Their dedication to inclusion and the local community is what first drew us to the studio, and it’s why we love being here. It truly feels like a family, and we are so thankful to be part of it.

Our experience at Fusia Dance has been truly special for both me and my children. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with such warmth that it instantly felt like more than just a dance studio. The staff is consistently kind, friendly, and supportive, creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable and encouraged. It’s rare to find a place where not only the dancers, but the families as well, are embraced so genuinely. Over time, we’ve met so many wonderful people who have become like family to us. The friendships my children have formed and the connections I’ve made with other parents mean so much beyond the studio walls. Most importantly, my girls have an incredible amount of fun every time they step into class. Their excitement, confidence, and joy are a reflection of the positive, uplifting atmosphere that Fusia Dance creates, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.

Over the past 5 years, watching our daughter, Honor grow at the studio with the same teacher, Ms Brielle has been such a special experience. The consistency, encouragement, and genuine care have not only helped her become a stronger dancer, but also more confident in herself. We’re so grateful to be part of such a supportive and positive dance family.

I’ve been a part of FuSia since it was first established, and now, at 32 years old, I get to experience it all over again, but this time as a dance mom to my 5-year-old daughter. FuSia has had such a huge impact on my life, not only as a dancer growing up, but now in a completely new and meaningful way. Watching my daughter be part of something that meant so much to me is something I truly can’t put into words. It’s incredibly special. I’ve seen her grow in confidence and come out of her shell in ways I didn’t expect, and I truly believe FuSia has played a big role in that. Growing up, FuSia was more than just dance, it was my second home. It’s where I built lifelong friendships, where I learned dedication, confidence, commitment, and love. The sense of community here is something you don’t find everywhere, and it really makes all the difference.Miss Fran and everything FuSia stands for helped shape me into who I am today. And now, to see my daughter experiencing that same support, encouragement, and joy, it means everything to me. FuSia is truly an incredible organization, and I’m so proud to say that both my daughter and I are part of it.

Our 10 years of experience with Fusia has been nothing short of amazing. Our girls have grown not only in their dance technique and skills, but in their confidence in a way that truly stands out. They’ve built strong, meaningful friendships and learned the value of teamwork both in and out of the studio. Over the years, they’ve had countless opportunities to grow and perform, and have real-world dance experiences. What makes this place so special is the staff - they are so much more than teachers. They are mentors, role models, and talented people our girls genuinely look up to. We are so grateful to be part of such a positive, inspiring, and growing community.

We’ve been just a tiny part of the Fusia family for two years now and the amount of growth I’ve seen in my girls confidence is astonishing! They love going every week and look forward to the skill they learn along the way. Watching the in their first ever recital was one of my favorite memories. They constantly talk about their teachers at Fusia and truly look up to them. If you’ve ever been even slightly considering starting at Fusia DO IT!!!! You will not be disappointed!

We have been with Fusia for over 7 years, and it has made such a tremendous impact on our daughter! Not only has she learned incredible dance skills, but she has become more confident all around! We are so thankful for Fusia and the impact it has had on our daughter over the years.

My daughter, Nzinga, has been dancing with Fusia since she was three years old, and she's been a part of the Fusia Dance Company since she was five years old. Fusia is definitely more than a dance company to us; it is an extended family. The relationships that she's developed over the years are second to none. Her confidence has improved tremendously, and she's just so dedicated when it comes to dance. Fusia, we love you, and we thank you for everything you have done for us and our family!

Nine years at Fusia Dance has been such a special part of Kendall’s life. We’ve watched her grow into a beautiful, confident dancer, and it’s all thanks to the incredible teachers who truly care about their students. The friendships she’s made there mean so much to her, and to us. And every year, one of her and our favorite traditions is her dad joining her on stage for “Dance With the One You Love”— a memory we’ll cherish forever. We’re so grateful to be part of the Fusia family.

Fusia has made a massive impact on our daughter. She has gained confidence on and off stage, she’s able to individually express herself but also work as a unit with her class and she absolutely loves going to class! The staff and instructors make sure that every child is safe, cared for and loved as their own. Fusia is more than just a dance company, it’s an extension to our family helping shape our little girl to be a strong, confident, and inspirational woman.

For the past 8 years, this studio has been such a meaningful part of our lives. It’s more than just a place to dance, it truly feels like a family. The staff is kind, supportive, and deeply dedicated, and it’s clear how much they care about each dancer. My daughter is always excited to go to dance and continues to ask for more classes each year. Along the way, she has built wonderful friendships and strong relationships with both her peers and her teachers. Watching her grow here has been incredibly special, and we are so grateful for all Fusia has given her.

Dance has become such an important part of my life, and being at Fusia has made me love it even more. I love dance because it gives me a way to express myself, build confidence, and just feel happy and free. Whether I’m learning new choreography or improving my technique, I always feel proud of how much I’m growing. Dance isn’t just something I do it’s something that truly makes me feel like myself. My favorite part about Fusia is the supportive and positive environment. The teachers are so encouraging and really care about helping every dancer improve, and the friendships I’ve made there mean so much to me. Being part of this studio has been such an amazing experience, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.

Fusia Center for the Arts has impacted me in unimaginable ways. From growing up going to dance as a student and continuing on as an instructor, this facility has enabled me to help impact students who stand where I once stood. Fusia provided me the true freedom a child needs to express themselves, the drive and motivations to persevere any obstacle in the arts world and life, and gave me a family away from home. I was able to improve my dance technique with confidence in an encouraging space with lots of opportunities. As an instructor, Fusia gave me the space to create and share my love and passion for the arts. The dedication of the staff allowed for me to be ever evolving in my knowledge and expertise with their never ending support. With this strong foundation I was proud and lucky to be able to pass this passion on to the future Fusia Dancers. I am so proud to be a part of the Fusia Family and forever inspired by Francesca Marinaro for following her dreams, sharing her visions, and giving the community an arts space to feel welcome, safe, and truly yourself.

Fusia Dance is truly something special. I feel so blessed my two daughters have the opportunity to dance and grow here. The teachers are wonderful, supportive, talented, and genuinely invested in every dancer’s growth. Being exposed to guest choreographers regularly gives them wonderful insight into all styles of dance. The choreography is exceptional, creative and inspiring. At Fusia, the overall atmosphere makes you excited to learn and improve. The studio’s has a family-like environment, where everyone feels welcomed and supported. My daughter’s truly love being apart of the Fusia family! It’s an amazing place to dance and be part of a community.

We love Fusia Center for the Arts so much!!!! My daughter Maya has been dancing there for 6 years  and she loves all her dance instructors. She tells me “mama I will never stop dancing.” She comes home from the studio and she tries to teach me how to dance. Thanks to all fusia stuff! You’re incredible! Fusia is our second family and second home!

My daughter has been going to Fusia for the last 4 years and has loved every minute of it.  Everyone shows so much love and passion for what they do and it shines in all the dancers. Ms. Brielle will forever be my daughter’s favorite and has made her a life long dancer. Ms. Fran has created something special.

The teachers at Fusia have taught me that you can work hard but at the same time have fun all while learning how to dance. Thanks to my Fusia family, I have learned so much, and gained confidence in myself on and off the stage.

Fusia has been a part of our lives now for 8 years and I can’t imagine these past 8 years without this studio. Both my daughter and son have learned so much over the years and getting to watch my children grow and progress in dance has been amazing. Fusia’s teachers and staff get to know your children and appreciate them for who they are. They recognize their individual strengths and abilities while helping them to become more confident and more comfortable in expressing themselves not only through dance but in their day to day lives. In addition, they have always made me feel heard and a part of my children’s dance journeys. I’m definitely looking forward to the next creative chapter for us and for Fusia!

As Ella gets ready to dance in her 5th recital, I cannot thank the best teachers enough for helping her grow her confidence and strength, both in dance and her friendships. Watching her love dance and smile big on stage is a dream come true.
