Indian Fusion Dance is a contemporary transcultural fusion based on explorations of Indian and Middle Eastern aesthetics.

This video documents the 2023 IFF: Level 1 training with dancers from across India and the world. The training takes place each April in Colleena Shakti's dance school in Pushkar, Rajasthan India.

Stylistically speaking, Indian Fusion movement vocabulary is inspired by cultural dances of India and the Middle East (including its modern evolutions). This dance bridges modern and folkloric Belly Dance vocabulary with extensive postures and spins of North Indian classical and folk dance, intricacies of eyes, hands and facial expression from Eastern Indian classical dance and draws in elements of Central Asian dances as well.

Indian Fusion Formation is a structured dance training program designed to progressively impart the techniques, training methods and theories behind this beautiful dance form – Indian Fusion Dance as developed by Colleena Shakti.

Indian Fusion Formation is not just a dance program, it is also a cultural immersion. Intellectual inquiry, aesthetic reflection and creative explorations are nurtured through the structured coursework and exercises defined in the program syllabus.

This program differs from other programs in its aim to prepare students with a deep understanding of the relevant cultural values, so they can create meaningful dance experiences with the Indian Fusion Dance vocabulary.

Different than a retreat or workshop, the program’s holistic curriculum empowers the student to grow within a shared movement vocabulary which aims at professional mastery. By progressing through the level system (1-4) students will gain access to teaching techniques and tools in the last level (L4). Upon successful completion of the program students will have the tools to present this dance with confidence and receive the blessings to teach this material.
