OUR STORY

IT ALL STARTED WHEN...

Creative Director Tara Wilson, a Hip Hop and Contemporary dancer, teacher and choreographer was busy chasing her dreams: offering Hip Hop classes in Calgary and bringing pioneers of Hip Hop and Streetdance to Calgary through an event she created called Get Down! She and Vince Truong met when he came to the event. Years later, united by their shared passion for Hip Hop and Streetdance, Vince, a computer software developer at the time, and his future wife Gill Co, an HR rep in the oil and gas industry, joined Tara and her husband Peter Strickland. Together Tara, Peter, Vince and Gill opened the doors of Pulse Studios – Calgary’s first, and only, dance studio dedicated exclusively to Hip Hop and Streetdance on January 24, 2011.

Pulse Studios continues to bring together the finest artists in the Calgary Hip Hop community to share their gifts, along with artists from across the globe to deliver world-class education in Hip Hop and Streetdance to the Calgary community.
