Impulse Dance Company

Provider Description

Impulse Dance Company, has for over thirty years trained, educated, supported and inspired thousands of dancers as well as administrators of organizations for the art. Formed in the early 1970’s under the direction of Consuelo Atlas, a long time soloist with the world-renowned Alvin Ailey Dance Company, Impulse began performing and attracted a loose-knit group of women students and instructors of jazz dance from in and around the Boston area. 

Later in the seventies the Company was taken over by Adrienne Hawkins, a seasoned performer and the first Artistic Director of The Joy of Movement Center, who had performed and choreographed with Impulse since shortly after its inception.

Impulse was for seventeen years the company in residence at The Joy of Movement Center.
