I hope you’ll take a few deep belly breaths to relax with me before this piece’s journey begins. www.StephanieWonchalaDance.com

Intended to be performed in downtown Anchorage windows, this mini Nutcracker mashup was filmed when mandates changed. Created by artists of Pulse Dance Company, with children cast from Studio Pulse Center for Dance students.

Pulse Dance Company was so inspired by Netherlands Dans Theater’s “Quarantine Creation” that we made our own version. This dance video connects dancers from the Pulse family past and present, now located in New York, Florida, Nevada, and everywhere in between. Happy 10 year anniversary, Pulse.

In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, Pulse Dance Company's 10th season anniversary concert was rescheduled for June 5 &6. As the seriousness of COVID took hold, this concert waited to premiere until March of 2022.
