A state-of-the-art dance studio, called Feel the Beat, has opened in Denver, Colorado. The studio, also a nonprofit, brings music and dance to the deaf, heard-of-hearing and special needs community. Feel the Beat dance classes are open to everybody, as their ultimate goal is to create an inclusive community.<\/p>\n

Utilizing Bone Conduction Technology<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Feel the Beat has a unique vibrational dancefloor that is embedded with bone conduction technology. With it, those who are deaf and hard-of-hearing can literally feel<\/em> the music and dance along. All aspects of the music, including each instrument, vocals, beat, rhythm and bass are conducted through this high-tech system. Music also plays in the room for those with lesser or no hearing impairment to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The studio\u2019s flooring consists of transducers, which transform sound into vibrations, and pliable materials that reverberate the vibrations. It works similarly to a BAHA system (bone-anchored hearing devices); vibrations are felt through the body and interpreted by the brain as sound.<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Dance<\/h2>\n

Dance is a fun cardio exercise with proven health benefits<\/a>. Dancing can help improve heart conditions, lung conditions and balance as well as improve coordination, confidence and social skills.* Previously, those with hearing disabilities were unable to enjoy this healthy hobby in the same way as their peers; however, Feel the Beat is leading a wave of change for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.<\/p>\n
