Feel the Beat

New York... we're here! 🗽💙

As you know, Feel the Beat is growing, and we're looking to partner with schools, studios, organizations, and community groups that share our vision of making dance more accessible.

Whether it's after-school programming, group classes, private lessons, or bringing our bone-conductive floor technology into your space, we'd love to connect.

Swipe through to learn more, and if you know someone in New York who might be a great fit, we'd love for you to share this post with them!

Interested in partnering? Reach out to us at [email protected] or visit our website (link in bio)!

Image Description: This carousel contains seven slides featuring photos of Feel the Beat instructors and students in class. The first slide includes a white silhouette of New York State and announces Feel the Beat's expansion into New York. The carousel then highlights opportunities to partner through after-school programs, group classes, private lessons, and hosting Feel the Beat's bone-conductive dance floor technology. It also encourages viewers to refer organizations in New York and invites prospective partners to connect.

What’s a matching gift?

Many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees—often dollar for dollar. That means your gift to Feel the Beat could go twice as far at no additional cost to you.

It only takes a few steps:
✨ Donate at feelthebeat.dance
✨ Look for the matching gift option on our donation page
✨ Submit a quick request through your employer (we’re happy to help guide you!)

Every matched dollar helps more students access movement, music, and connection—through our bone-conductive floor, in their bodies, and in their community.

Double the Beat. Double the impact. 💜

Image Descriptions: This carousel includes four graphics introducing corporate matching gifts at Feel the Beat. The first slide features dancers standing in a line with hands on each other’s backs over a purple and blue ombré background, with the headline “Your donation just got more powerful—Introducing corporate matching gifts at Feel the Beat!” The second slide explains what a matching gift is, using an icon of a hand holding a box with money and hearts on the same background. The third slide outlines the three easy steps to submit a matching gift and includes the Double the Donation logo. The final slide features students lying on the floor in a Feel the Beat studio, with the message “Double the Beat, Double the Impact,” a note about how every dollar supports students, and “donate at feelthebeat.dance” at the bottom.
