As founder of Feel the Beat, a Colorado 501c3 nonprofit and dance studio that offers accessible dance classes and barrier-breaking vibrotactile dance floor technology solutions, Jari Majewski Price has made her vision for creating accessible environments a reality. Her work with co-creators, engineers, and partners enabled the launch of a fully accessible dance studio coupled with customized curriculum and teaching tools for Neurodiverse individuals. Jari also oversaw the development of a groundbreaking bone-conductive flooring solution that converts sound into vibrational energy – engaging an individual’s sense of touch – allowing them to feel the beat.

Jari graduated in 2009 from New York City’s Pace University with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a concentration in Communication Disorders and American Sign Language. In addition, she holds a Masters degree in Deaf Education (M.Ed.) and Early Childhood Education (MA) from Columbia University.
