Who FUSE Is For
FUSE is a great fit for dancers ages 9-18 who:
- Love hip hop, street styles, and high-energy movement
- Want to perform and compete in a team environment
- Are motivated, expressive, and eager to grow in confidence both on and off the stage.

Fuse is especially appealing to dancers who may not connect with traditional dance paths but feel most confident and alive in hip hop spaces.

FUSE Director
Livv Gibbs Livv is a dancer, mentor, teacher and choreographer coming to us from El Paso TX, where she taught and was the assistant director at her family’s dance studio for over 15 years. Growing up a “convention kid”, she began dancing at a young age and danced competitively, primarily in hip hop, from ages 13 to 22.
She has an extensive resume (i.e., her first mini tour at the young age of 12, many local performances and dancing in the SunBowl halftime show with Rihanna) and a few competition choreography awards under her belt (i.e., Best of Streetz Albuquerque 2023, Tremaine High Score Preteen Line Dallas Summer 2024). She has trained in multiple styles over the years, both in the studio and traveling to various conventions (Pulse on Tour, Monsters, KAOS, 24Seven, etc), which gave her the opportunity to teach in those styles however she mostly teaches and has a love for hip hop, jazz, and jazz funk currently. She has also been teaching adult classes such as beginner hip hop, hip hop cardio and heels for 10 years.
“I take pride in providing an inclusive environment (especially for young girls) and hone in on performance, confidence & self love! Growing up dancing with my dad and brothers, there was a lot of things I had to figure out on my own as a female in the industry. My goal is to make dancing fun and exciting for each of my dancers while also teaching them skill-sets and life lessons they can carry with them long past their time spent with me.”
