One stage, every art form. Built by a choreographer who wanted a home for performers of every age and every genre.
Fuse Performing Arts Center began with a traveling choreographer and a group of students who didn't want to stop training together.
As a traveling choreographer, Calli Overstreet had recruited students of all ages who wanted a place to keep taking classes from her. When the studio she was teaching at was set to close, she faced a choice — find another place to teach, or build her own.
With a lifelong love of singing, playing instruments, dancing, and choreographing — and a growing passion for musical theater and large-scale productions — Calli built Fuse to be the kind of place she always wanted to exist: a center where kids and adults could sing, dance, act, and perform with equal quality across every genre.
Fuse provides training across all genres of performing arts, giving every student — regardless of age or experience — the opportunity to grow in the art forms they love.
From traveling choreographer to studio founder, Calli built Fuse around one idea — every performer deserves a place to train, perform, and grow, no matter what genre calls to them.
Four dedicated studios used for classes, choreography, and production rehearsals across Dance, Theater, and Show Choir.
The FuseBox — our in-house theater seats 120 guests for live productions, showcases, and performances throughout the year.
A spacious lobby welcomes families and guests, with a dedicated student area featuring lockers and hooks for bags and belongings.
Fuse Performing Arts has built a reputation for excellence across theater and dance — recognized by some of Arizona's most respected award programs and competitions.
Fuse has received numerous ariZoni nominations across nearly every category, along with multiple award wins — recognition from Arizona's premier theater awards program, presented annually since 1990.
Our competitive dance company has earned choreography awards at dance competitions, along with first place overall finishes within their age and genre categories for group routines.
Fuse productions have also been invited to represent multiple competitions at their national events after receiving People's Choice awards.
