CLASS LEVELS

  • At this time, most classes are Intro, Beginner, Beg/Int or Intermediate. All students who are new to Project Pulse should take a Beginner level class, as Project Pulse's style is different compared to other schools in the area, and takes time getting used to. However, if you feel that you have enough training, you are welcome to try higher level class. Project Pulse reserves the right to re-assign any student improperly placed in a class. Returning students should talk to their instructors about proper placement before the first day of class, to avoid any confusion.
  • Intro - Have never danced before
  • Beginner - Have danced for a short period of time , usually less than 6 months
  • Intermediate - Have taken at least 1 year of classes with Project Pulse, or at another School/Studio
  • Once the students are observed, new classes may open to separate the levels of dancers.
  • Project Pulse reserves the right to promote students from one level to another level.

CLASS CHOREOGRAPHY AND INSTRUCTION

  • Students will require the written and/or verbal permission from the Project Pulse if he/she would like to use in part or whole the dance routines learned in the dance class.
  • Project Pulse will not be responsible for preparing students for competitions, shows, etc unless contacted by the Project Pulse themselves.
  • Entire class sessions are not allowed to be videotaped. Videotaping can be done ONLY with instructor approval and usually in the last 10 minutes of class practicing a routine.

CLASS REGISTRATION AND PAYMENTS

If a student attends a class and does not register but wants to continue the session, a late fee of $5 will be added to the regular price each week the full payment is not made.

For example, Student A attends first day of class, and forgets to register/bring their check book/cash. We will have to assess a $5 late charge starting the day after going forward for each week they are late, no excuses.

We highly recommend all folks register ahead of time and avoid the late charges.
