After collecting money from every studio, dancer etc, she bounced the checks that were given to the judges! I'm fairly certain "thousands" of dollars were collected as entry fees and she can't even use the money collected to pay the people who came here to judge it?!?! With that kind of integrity, there is no way I would even recommend this place to anyone until she is no longer affiliated with it. The few coaches who teach there I have nothing but good things to say about. They deserve someone who isn't a crook for a boss. If I could give this negative stars, I would.

What a pleasant surprise!…read more I had never heard of this place. I'm terrible at dancing. Any and all types of dancing. However, one of the women I'm seeing is into novel experiences (and is also a good dancer, TBH) and I wanted to hang out with her this week so...there I was. There is a free beginner dance lesson every Wednesday. The instructors are good, really good. Arguably too good. I'm such a n00b that I didn't understand most of the jargon. Jargon that most people have probably known since middleschool. I guess I just need a "total n00b" class to be offered in the future. Anyway, I'm trying to challenge myself so, I still tried. I *kind of* got the dance. My steps were innacurate and but I didn't run into anyone and my timing was A-OK. It was a really fun experience now that I'm not out on the dance floor struggling through "syncopated steps". (whatever the hell those are)

I grew up in the Chicago area, and was actively trained in ballet, jazz & contemporary at my studio…read morethere until I finished college, which much to my dismay was almost 10 years ago. Dance has always been a passion of mine, and I greatly missed training in my adult life. I figured now that I live in a new state dance could be a fun way to connect me with new people who share similar interests. Upon searching for adult classes I stumbled upon Studio Pulse. They offer a wide variety of adult classes including Hip-hop, yoga, and a burlesque inspired class at their sister studio, The Annex. I was interested in their adult ballet classes, and lucky for me they were offering a 10 week series for people with ballet experience. I immediately emailed to ask about the class, and make sure I wasn't about to get my butt handed to me in front of a bunch of 16 year olds. The owner, Stephanie, was super prompt in her email reply, and let me know if I didn't feel comfortable with the skill level of the class I could drop down to the beginner course. I immediately signed up! On the first day of my 10 week series I was greeted by Stephanie, who showed me around the studio and made me feel so welcomed. Stephanie and the front desk staff are always very pleasant and friendly. They are also taking COVID precautions seriously, which shows they care about their staff and students. The studio is a really nice space with a great lounge for the young dancers to socialize in between training. Everything is clean and well maintained. The intermediate/adv adult ballet class is taught by Liz, who is an excellent ballet teacher. She is very passionate about ballet, and puts together great barre and floor work. They teach several styles of dance at this studio, and have the classes broken up by age/skill level. They also have a dance company that is on a try out basis. It seems they put on several showcases a year where the students can show off what they learn. The studio also has a lot of class variety for adult dancers of all skill levels. I am very happy I found this studio, and will be looking into taking another class series once this one ends. If my children are ever interested in dance I will definitely be enrolling them at this studio.

Michelle, the main instructor, was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the challenging process of pursuing my dream to dance. I wasn't sure where to start, what classes to take, or how to move forward, but she made it so much easier. I've been attending for six weeks now, and I absolutely love it! I'm finally doing what I've always dreamed of, and it feels amazing. You don't have to be crazy talented or have any prior experience. There are multiple instructors who are so supportive and help guide you every step of the way. I've had such an incredible time and can't wait to continue on to the next class!

People are friendly and welcoming to visitors esp since local community is fairly small. Beginners welcome and they toss in a fun dance class at the beginning.

Danced mainly as a lead and didn't run out of dances. :) For salsa, more on1 than on2 dancers (music leans Romantica). I'll be stopping by whenever I'm in Anchorage on a Friday night! :)
