Adaptive Dance Classes For All Ages, Skill-Levels, and Abilities.
Immerse. Include. Unite.
Feel the Beat was founded in 2016 to ensure Deaf, Hard of Hearing, disabled, and nondisabled individuals can learn, move, and express themselves through accessible, adaptive dance education. Our curriculum centers on communication, connection, and the belief that dance is for everyone, and every BODY!
The Floor That Lets You Feel the Beat
At Feel the Beat, our studio features a one-of-a-kind vibrotactile dance floor that transforms sound into gentle, full-body vibration. Using embedded bone-conduction technology, the floor allows dancers of all abilities, including those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, Blind or low vision, on the Autism Spectrum, with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities, or with physical disabilities, to feel music through their feet and bodies in a natural, immersive way.
Designed with multiple layers for comfort, mobility, and sensory access, the system welcomes dancers in socks, shoes, or wheelchairs. This innovative flooring helps every dancer connect to rhythm and experience movement in a powerful, inclusive environment.
