TESTIMONIALS

  • "I signed up my daughter for a week of summer camp at Pulse Studios because she loves music and dance. She was nervous to go but the staff were all amazing. They made her feel comfortable and by the end of the first day, she was hooked! From breaking to street dance, DJ scratching to graffiti, she is learning not only the moves and culture but the history of hip hop. This place is quality!"

    - Nikole Okiring

      

  • "My kids and I have been dancing at Pulse for years. I LOVE this place. Unlike other dance studios that offer a little of everything, Pulse excels because they stick to one thing - hip hop. That being said, they offer so many different styles under the hip hop umbrella. This place is the real deal – not only with excellent instruction, but in providing a place that fosters the culture and community of hip hop. I love that they have a beginner class every day of the week, and that every teacher brings their own enthusiastic vibe to class. We’ll never go anywhere else."
