Founded in 2017, Feel the Beat has led the effort to make dance accessible for all! Feel the Beat is a local Colorado nonprofit dedicated to making dance, music, and expression available to ALL! We have built a one-of-a-kind dance studio complete with a vibrating dance floor designed with the deaf and hard of hearing in mind that includes dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable teachers. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Feel the Beat wants to ensure that our dance classes are accessible to all community members who have ever felt unwelcome or unaccommodated at a dance class. We are always focused on careful budgeting so that each dollar is used to help as many dancers as possible. Feel the Beat is looking for new board members to serve on our board of directors. We are looking for individuals who have prior nonprofit board member experience in areas such as strategy, development, operations, grants/donor support/management, outreach and PR. Individuals who have experience in dance/the arts and/or the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Disability community in a nonprofit setting is a plus.
