The PULSE Summer New York July 22-25

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 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 watch and critique the PULSE Showcase. For your convenience, we will 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)

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 July 21 beginning at 2:00PM. The performers will be critiqued by master faculty from New York City area. The top soloists will be asked to perform in The Opening (Choreographed by Ashli Wells) or Closing number (Choreographed by Rockette Director Eileen Grace) of the PULSE Final Night Gala on Sunday July 25.
