ABout feel the beat
Feel the beat is dedicated to creating sound accessible environments, using vibrotactile technology, to bring the expressive world of music and dance education to individuals who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing and with Special Needs.
The fact is, there are over 10,000,000 individuals with a hearing loss across the nation, and most programs, facilities, and products are inaccessible and not universally designed for these communities.
The current state of dance education is geared toward the mass population of children, those who are able bodied and unencumbered by a learning difference or an impairment. We are missing an opportunity to support the musical and dance education to our children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing who need a more customized curriculum that incorporates their mode of communication. These children are missing opportunities to experience the joy of music, dance and expression.
