Studio Pulse Center for Dance + The Annex Yoga & Dance Fitness

Just went and saw the "Velvet Box" last night that Pulse put on. So much fun! What a talented bunch of ladies (and a few gents)! Thank you!

The Annex is my favorite place in town to take any kind of movement class. The atmosphere is is inviting, the offerings are engaging, and each teacher has a clear love of whatever class they are teaching. The classes are not just expertly crafted but they are also taught in a way where modifications are normalized and everyone's individual needs are embraced. Each time I leave a class at The Annex, I feel so much gratitude to have a place like this where it's easy to find joy in movement.

If you're not a dancer, this is one of the best places to move in Anchorage. The teaching staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Classes are small enough to feel intimate and personal.

I took my first class at The Annex last night and I am OBSESSED! The class was Fit & Flexy and it was the perfect mix of yoga, cardio, and strength training with some mobility. The studio vibe is incredible, the playlist was perfect, and our instructor (Stephanie) was encouraging and super friendly! Check them out if you want to feel good while moving your body!

Excellent studio! My 6 year old has attended for 1.5+ years and she loves it. The studio is beautiful and clean. Everyone I have interacted with so far is professional yet friendly, and the classes have had perfect balance between fun and discipline. As a result, young kids are actually learning about dance without it being a chore. I also feel like I always knew what to expect and when, there is good communication from the office to the parents and students. I wish all extracurriculars were run half as well as Pulse does. The owner is invested in the success of the studio and it's dancers. The recitals have been very engaging and entertaining too! In the 1.5 years there has never been a situation where my daughter's instructors were late, or a "no-show". One emergency cancelation was followed by an apology from the front office and a variety of ways to get a make-up lesson. When a pre-ballet instructor moved halfway through the year, pre-jazz teacher had to take over right away and did wonderful. I feel like this speaks to the quality of relationships between the teachers and the owner, and the quality of teachers invited/selected. It's my favorite place for sure!
