Pulse is the leading quarterly publication for South Asian dance and music in the UK with a global perspective. Pulse magazine and website: www.pulseconnects.com, serve the arts sector by recording, critiquing, profiling and archiving South Asian dance and music. 

As art forms from the Indian Sub-Continent, begin to throw roots in new soils, the outcomes also mutate and re-form. In order for the emerging work to thrive a critical mass of artists and a forum for debate and discussion is essential. Pulse strives to become the space for information exchange and critical analysis.

Sanjoy Roy writes regularly on dance for the Guardian, contributes to several other publications including the New Statesman, Dance Gazette, Dancing Times and, of course, Pulse.
