Our 11th Annual Teacher Workshop runs alongside our PULSE Summer NYC event. We’d like to invite our Teacher Workshop participants to enjoy some of the performances and events that take place during PULSE Summer NYC!
THE PULSE PERFORMANCE SHOWCASE
The PULSE Performance Showcase is an opportunity for studios attending our PULSE Summer NYC to perform a routine in front of The PULSE Faculty. The Showcase is held Saturday, July 30th, at 8:00pm in the main ballroom and is open to everyone to watch. Admission is FREE!
FACULTY PHOTO SHOOT
Come get your photo taken with the PULSE faculty! This is the only time we will host a group photo session with the faculty throughout the workshop. In order for this opportunity to run smoothly, we ask that you abide by the procedure created by the staff and faculty.
• Following The PULSE Performance Showcase on Saturday evening, we will ask you to gather by the designated Teacher Workshop sign in the main ballroom.
• To expedite matters, we ask that you form a group of at least five friends. There will be no individual photos taken due to limited time.
• The Faculty will be seated together on a couch and groups of participants will approach and pose for their photo! Our professional photographers from ProPix will snap the picture, and participants will exit out the opposite side. You will also be able to use your personal cameras, though we move very fast -- snap when you can!
• Your PULSE ProPix photos will be available for purchase at the ProPix Vendor Booth during the day on Sunday.
Our PULSE Faculty Photo Shoot is a well-oiled machine and moves quickly and efficiently! Please cooperate and follow our PULSE Staff’s directions.
PULSE Faculty Photo Shoot is Saturday evening following our PULSE Performance Showcase. If you want to take your photo, but do not plan to watch the performance—that’s ok! Come to the ballroom just before the showcase is over.
THE FINAL NIGHT GALA
The Final Night Gala is the finale of our PULSE Summer NYC. It features performances from the PULSE Intensives, top soloists from the Solo Scholarship Program, Choreographer's Picks from Saturday’s Performance Showcase, lots of guest artists, and more! We will also be announcing our Elite PULSE Protégés for the 2011-2012 season. The performance will be held in the main ballroom on Sunday, July 31st. Tickets to this event are $25 each. These tickets will be available for purchase on site, at customer service on a first come first serve basis. The Final Night Gala has sold out every year, so we do recommend purchasing tickets as soon as possible.
PULSE SUMMER NYC OBSERVERS
While Teacher Workshop classes are closed to observers, we do allow Teacher Workshop Participants to purchase observer bands to view PULSE Summer NYC workshop classes. These observer bands may sell out; pre-registration is strongly suggested. You may purchase or add observer bands to your online registration up until Monday, July 11th. Depending on availability, observer bands will be sold at customer service during the event.
All observer bands are non-refundable and may not be transferred from one person to another. The PULSE is not responsible for lost or stolen bands. Noise level and activity should be kept to a minimum out of consideration for the faculty and dancers. No cell phones, talking, videotaping or note taking.
Please note there is NO DANCING ALLOWED with observer bands!
If you would like to dance in PULSE Summer NYC classes, you may purchase an upgrade for your account that will allow you access into all Teacher Workshop and PULSE classes from July 28-31. Please contact Courtney if you would like to upgrade your registration.
There is no dress code for Teacher Workshop -- come as you are! Most teachers wear sweats or warm ups for hip hop classes and seminars and tighter-fitting outfits for more technical classes. Remember, you will be dancing on carpet for the majority of the classes (wood for tap), so bring several dance shoe options such as jazz shoes, sneakers, dance paws, knee socks or whatever you feel comfortable in. Be sure to pick up the hottest PULSE gear to wear in class as well!
Lunch Options
Our goal is to keep you dancing all day, so we keep your lunch breaks short. We'll host a quick “cash and carry” lunch in the area outside the ballrooms. There are many great choices all around Grand Central for food including Grand Central Market, grab and go, delis, fine restaurants and more!
Payment Options
All registration sales, as well as our PULSE retail, will accept cash or credit card payment (MasterCard or Visa only).
On-site shopping
The PULSE hosts the hottest vendors in dance wear and dance gear -- take a break and do some shopping! Shop our DANCE EXPO for the latest in dance apparel, footwear and accessories! It features our favorite vendors including Capezio, NappyTabs, Suagr & Bruno, and Tia’s Dancewear!
Also make sure to check out the PULSE Merchandise --T-shirts, socks, dance pants, basketball shorts and more!
This event is too exciting not to capture on film! ProPix professional photographers will be on-site all weekend, so be sure to check out the photos of yourselves to purchase. You are however, welcome to use your personal still cameras throughout the workshop. There will be no videotaping permitted at the Showcase or in any PULSE workshop classes.
