Dance Foundations is Back

A group of young dancers in a studio carry colorful scarves. Two dancers are in motion running toward a wall with windows while the other dancers line up in the corner and watch.

This dynamic class is for dancers ages 8 to 10 to build a basic understanding of traditional modern and ballet dance technique. 

With joy and exploration at the heart, dancers will learn improvisational techniques, basic principles of rhythm, movement quality, musicality, and alignment! Class runs on Mondays from 4 to 5pm, starting November 7.

Making Pulse Accessible to Everybody

Posted on by berkpulsedev

We have been granting Tuition Assistance to families-in-need since 1996. Thanks to this special program, Pulse has never turned away a student for an inability to pay. Here’s a glimpse at what our Tuition Assistance Program looks like by the numbers…     

How Tuition Assistance Makes an Impact   

  • 1 out of 5 Pulse students receive tuition assistance. In 2021, students were awarded between 30% and 100% of the cost of tuition, ranging from $120 to $3000 per student. 
  • $35,000+ has been granted to Pulse students in tuition assistance this year.  
  • The need for tuition assistance has increased by 120% for families-in-need between 2020 and 2021.    

Help Us Continue Offering Tuition Assistance 

With so many challenges facing our community this year, the need for this program continues to grow. Learn more here, and make a donation here. We hope you’ll consider supporting this very special program.
