History & Tax Status

24-VII Danceforce first opened its doors for dance instruction in 1991 under the creative direction of its founder, Marcelo Pacleb. It all began in a small, two-window room in the Mapunapuna area and, at the time, only two dance classes were offered per week. But, word quickly spread about this new, up and coming, contemporary dance studio. Enrollment began to grow, as did the need for a more spacious facility.  Now after two decades, 24-VII Danceforce is proud to call Windward Mall Shopping Center in Kaneohe, Hawaii, its home. Today, enrollment continues to grow with new students joining on a regular basis.

In December 2004, the studio reorganized as a not-for-profit corporation under the name Pulse Productions and registered 24-VII Danceforce as its trade name. Pulse Productions is a charitable organization, exempt from Federal Income Tax under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, contributions are considered tax deductible to the extent allowed by laws.
