Pulse Tour 2009
Pulse Tour 2009
Pulse Tour 2009
Pulse Tour 2009

Relevé Dancewear and local dancers traveled to Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend to participate in The Pulse Tour.

The Pulse is a dance event like no other that is an experience that would make a difference in the lives of young dancers. It is a weekend of challenging choreography, which provides opportunities for dancers to participate in performance showcases. The PULSE on Tour was created, and provided a way to take the passion for dance across the country.

From dance reality TV shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "America's Best Dance Crew" to current stage productions like “Cirque du Soleil,” Broadway and countless movies in theaters now, the working choreographers are the best in the business and offer dancers the chance to learn their original choreography. The dancers that attended The Pulse in Atlanta worked with the amazing choreographers, Mia Michaels, Brian Friedman, Wade Robson, Dave Scott, Chris Judd and Laurie Ann Gibson.
The focus is to present dancers with the powerful and noncompetitive experience of a lifetime!

Dancers from the following organizations danced their hears out!

  • Holly Springs School of Dance
  • Carolina Railhawks
  • Southeast Raleigh High School
  • Enloe High School
  • Carolina Dance Center
  • Cary Dance Productions
  • CC & Company
  • Theatrical Dance Arts Academy 
  • Members of Spring Dance Company performed in the showcase and danced a modern piece choreographed by Amy White.

Center Stage 

Center Stage

Is keeping their dancers in the spotlight with a trip to the Showstopper convention in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. While other studio’s may feel it is only important for their instructors to learn the latest moves and techniques from the Industry leaders, Center Stage believes their dancers de-serve to learn from the professionals themselves.. Center Stage dancers, Jasmin Martin, Christian Reed, Allison Powell, Christian Reed, Cynita Simpson, Christopher Kelly, Kira Martin, Charla Perry, Sarah Hess, Brittany Pleasant, Kolina and Khi Simpson, Chala Perry, Rachel Petherbridge, Rachel Miller , Alexa Britt, Caroline Millsaps, Rachel Archer Williams, & Cee Cee Huffman traveled to Myrtle Beach over the Martin Luther King weekend and were delighted with their experiences at Showstopper Dance Convention.

Center Stage School of Performing Arts has been serving the Fuquay and Garner communities for over 27 years. The owners of Center Stage feel that this opportunity with Showstopper helps their dance students see first-hand how dance can be incorporated into their lives as a profession. Who knows maybe someday a student at Center Stage will be on television’s, “So you think you can dance”, such as Jessica King or producing movies about dance like Darrin Henson of “Stomp the Yard”. Anything is possible when the dancer is trained with the proper technique . Several Center Stage dancers can already be seen on Broadway.

On a day when fallen heroes are remembered, troops honored and patriotism swells, one local dance studio is gearing up to keep their patriotic spirits alive year round.

Step Ahead Dance Studio in Cleveland started classes just last week, and with each new year comes a theme that the classes focus on in preparation for the end of the year recital.

This year the studio has decided to support the military with “Operation: Encourage!” They’ve adopted the 43rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron (AES), a unit stationed at Pope Air Force Base.
