Fusion became a concept in the Spring of 2002 when two graduating NCSU Asian Students Association members, Hyejin Ann and Yumi Pyon, were inspired to do something new and fun for the upcoming ASA annual show, Asia Night. They thought up the idea of creating a small dance group to perform for that year's festivities. The two gathered a group of current ASA officers and members and called themselves "Fusion." Under the choreography of Senior Valerie Virtudazo and Sophomore Mark Olorvida, the newly formed troupe performed two dances - a cultural and a hip-hop dance. This was meant to be a one-time deal, a fun experience for graduating seniors.

The following year, pleased with the previous Asia Night success, the Asian Students Association wanted to bring back the idea of an ASA dance performance for Asia Night 2003. Headed by Freshman Annie Yee, a team of interested ASA members assembled a month prior to the big show for preparations. Naming themselves "Fusion" after the former ASA dance group, the team performed a hip-hop routine.

That summer, energized and influenced by the Asia Night performance, Annie Yee and fellow ASA 2003 dance member, Kawan Rojanatavorn, formed a dance partnership. They were determined not to let Fusion become another "one time deal" for the approaching school year. Together with Mark Olorvida (co-choreographer for the original Fusion) and Virna Virtudazo they transformed "Fusion" into a real dance team.

During their first full year of operation, Fusion continued working as a part of the Asian Students Association. The team made it a point to always incorporate cultural dancing along with hip-hop, like the original group had intended in 2002. Fusion was fresh and new. Nobody knew who they were, so there wasn't pressure to be perfect. They were simply there to dance and have a good time. Mainly supervised and choreographed by Virna Virtudazo, Annie Yee, Mark Olorvida, and Kawan Rojanatavorn, the team grew close without knowing it. Virna and Mark became the parental "mom & pop" figures, with Annie and Kawan being the helpful "sis & bro."

Fusion separated from the Asian Students Association and became its own club at NC State in the Fall of 2004. Lead by Co-Presidents Annie Yee and John Kim, Fusion stepped up and made it their goal to be seen by their peers, the university, and the cultural community. However, with great ambition comes misfortune. Fusion underwent harsh trials within their team, which ultimately pushed them closer. By the end of the school year Fusion had grown into a tight-knit family. Unbeknownst to them, Fusion also became a dancing force to be reckoned with.

From that point on, Fusion set a standard for their dance team to be the best, to only get greater with each coming year.
