PULSE is excited to offer performance opportunities for our groups and individuals!

GROUPS

The PULSE Performance Showcase
Explore the stage with no boundaries! We invite all registered groups to perform a piece in front of our PULSE faculty on Saturday night! You must have a minimum of 5 dancers in your piece. If space is still available, The PULSE will allow those performing to add a second piece. No one dancer should be in two routines. For your convenience, we will also return each faculty’s critiques and notes to you on Sunday. The PULSE Performance Showcase will run approximately 2 hours and is open to the public. There is no fee to come support your fellow dancers!

* If space allows one month prior to the event, we will accept a piece with 5 or more individual dancers, or accept a second piece from a group that is already performing.

Fees:
5-10 dancers - $250 flat fee
11+ Dancers - $25 per dancer

For rules and regulations, please see below. For questions, please email Info@ThePulseOnTour.com
Thanks for your support. We look forward to seeing you in the lights!

Opening Number Performance:
Register to learn and perform a piece at our PULSE Performance Showcase on Saturday night! This piece is choreographed by special guest faculty Janelle Ginestra and set by our Elite Protégés and is a great opportunity for individual dancers to perform on The PULSE stage.
