Middle eastern dance especially flows from the experience and confidence of the dancer with her dance form & with her body, and most importantly her comfort with expressing her soul. Combining these things in themselves is art.
Middle Eastern dance is complex and layered. It it a dance of contrast, sublty and sharp, separating the upper body with the lower body and layering the various shimmies as a accent to enhance various parts of the music. Some people demean the dance form by thinking that they'll take class for 6 months & they'll have it down. They don a costume and shimmy for 5 mins and think that it represents the form.
This form is more than figure eights, hip circles, snake arms and shimmies. In really exquisite middle eastern dance the movements appear to be effortless, free, and controlled at the same time. That takes years to master. So unless someone has been studying middle eastern dance for years and has mastered that beauty they have no business "fusing" it with something else and saying that it is "fusion" with middle eastern dance.
Real artists have a responsibilty to their audience and to their art to represent it in a manner that nutures interest and respect for their craft. Many people already have a negative idea about middle eastern dance, so care has to be given in it's representaion.
I'm not saying that fusing two or more dance forms is not good. I just think that you should taste and savor each ingredient first before mixing and giving it a fusion title.
