Company dancers are placed in groups according to ability and focus on technique, style, stage presence, team building skills, a positive attitude and most of all having FUN!!!! Classes range from warm-ups, across the floor and dance combinations to running, cleaning and perfecting routines for various performances. All members participate in rewarding community performances, exciting dance competitions and our end of the year showcase. Pulse company members are a "Step Above" because they are given specialized training and unique opportunities to enjoy the art of dance that the average dancer may not ever get to experience. We like to think of The Pulse as a breeding ground for stars as many of our company members have worked professionally on Broadway, TV commercials and film as well as industrials and music videos.
