Pulse is a catalyst bringing together stakeholders in dance education, providing a space to promote dialogue through a shared experience and collaboration. The conference fosters enduring relationships between educators, students, artists and scholars beyond the conference experience. It seeks to address ongoing concerns about the underdeveloped and under-serviced state of dance programs in Ontario and to model delivery templates to other national or international jurisdictions.

Pulse was conceived in 2004 as a response to the mandate of  CODE (the subject association for Drama and Dance Educators in Ontario) to support, advocate for and grow dance education programs in Ontario schools. The Pulse Ontario Dance Conference - a three-day gathering is a catalyst for bringing together stakeholders in dance education, providing a space to promote dialogue through a shared experience and collaboration. The conference fosters enduring relationships between educators, students, artists and scholars beyond the conference experience. It seeks to address ongoing concerns about the underdeveloped and under-serviced state of dance programs in Ontario and to model delivery templates to other national or international jurisdictions.
