"No where else on earth could you take from all these instructors in one place all in 3 days. The level of faculty at the Teacher Workshop is not comparable to any other workshop I have ever been to."
Sabetha Mumm • Dance Vision • Johnston, IA

"I attended my first PULSE event in 2009 and have been hooked ever since. I take away a feeling of weightlessness when I journey home after your events. Your faculty, staff, and special guests have enabled me to grow my studio to over 150 kids in less than 4 years."
Erica Ogle • Artistry in Motion Dance Studio • Vero Beach, FL

"At Teacher Workshop, I gain education on the latest insights and practical variations on HOW to teach technique. Also, I gain inspiration to reach deeper into the soul for choreography. It has an edge over the others because it truly lives in what the dance scene is today, not yesterday."
Victoria Hunt • Highland Dance Academy • Bellevue, WA

“No other teacher workshop provides such an unprecedented collection of renowned artists. The classes, instruction, and overall energy of the Teacher Workshop in NYC make The PULSE the most comprehensive event I've attended!”
Amanda N. Oliver • Falls Church, VA

"After taking Teacher Workshop for the second time in 2012, I took away a lot of choreography for my studio and the saying "I'm happy to be here and I am ready to work". My students now all say it (with enthusiasm) before each and every class!  It gets them all in the right headspace to dance and is a wonderful motivator. The teachers at Teacher Workshop are absolutely amazing! The venue was great, close to everything and beautifully set out. Please bring The PULSE Teacher Workshop to Australia soon!  I want my students to experience the best in dance and PULSE is it!"
Belinda Williamson • Northside School of Dance • Queensland, Australia
