The PULSE Summer Los Angeles July 16-18

Perform THE PULSE PERFORMANCE SHOWCASE
Explore the stage with no boundaries. We invite each group (10 or more dancers) or individual dancers (of 5 or more) to perform a piece. If space is still available, The PULSE will allow groups to bring another number. However, the second piece must have entirely different dancers performing. No one dancer should be in two routines.
• The showcase is held Saturday evening during the event weekend and is open to the public. There is no fee to come support your fellow dancers!
• The show runs approximately two hours.
• The faculty will speak to the teachers or leaders of the groups who perform at the Performance Showcase and give constructive critiques at the Creative Connect on Sunday. For your convenience, we will also email each faculty’s critiques and notes to you personally.
• The PULSE Showcase is the OFFICIAL audition for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Opening Act!

REQUIREMENTS
• All groups may only enter one piece initially. Prior to the event, the showcase will open to a 2nd group piece and groups registered as individuals as space permits. There must be different dancers in each piece.
• Minimum of five dancers in any piece. All dancers must be registered for the entire PULSE workshop.
• $250 per dance (5-10 dancers) or $25 per dancer (11 and more dancers)
• Three-minute maximum length (unless approved by PULSE Staff.)
• You may choose to wear costumes or casual dance attire.
• First come, first served.
Thanks for your support. We look forward to seeing you in lights!

INDIVIDUALS
Your opportunity to impress The PULSE faculty happens in class! If you are interested in individual performance opportunities, please join us for our SOLO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM held on Thursday night, or get a group together and see if space is available one month prior to the date of your city to perform in the Saturday night Showcase.

OPTIONS
SOLO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The solo scholarship program is an opportunity for registered dancers to be able to perform their solo for critique. Each soloist will receive a written and audio critique of their performance. This performance is held on Thursday, July 15 beginning at 6:00pm. The performers will be critiqued by master faculty from the Los Angeles area. The top soloists will be asked to perform in The Opening Number choreographed by Gina Starbuck! The Opening Number will perform in the PULSE Showcase on Saturday July 17. The panel will also choose PULSE Premiere Performers who will be asked to perform their solo at the PULSE Performance Showcase on Saturday July 17. These performers will also be invited to perform their solo during the regional tour.
