Dancers who are truly thinking about a professional career are then invited to participate in a private audition. This is a tremendous opportunity for dancers actively seeking representation! The next hour will consist of a mock audition that will be held to give dancers the opportunity to experience first- hand what it takes to audition for an agency. The PULSE is known among many agents as "where to find dancers" so exciting! Agents will also be on- site all weekend to watch classes and scout talent! Each agency represents Directors, Choreographers, Designers, Dancers, and Actors for Commercials, Film, TV, Music, and Theatre.

6 Scholarships All registered participants are eligible for scholarships! Dancers may pick up a number during check- in. We do not have a traditional closed audition. Instead, The PULSE Faculty choose to reward dancers who catch their eye in classes - whether it s recognizing technique, drive, style or enthusiasm. This process not only permits more class time, but also allows for a controlled, creative, casual atmosphere. We ask that you wear your scholarship number throughout the entire weekend so each faculty can get the chance to see you during your class performance! We will announce our winners at the Scholarship Ceremony on Saturday.
