Feel the Beat in Lakewood

“From the first class, she attended we could tell this was going to have an amazing influence on her. When she first felt the music through the floor she just lit up!” said participant parent, Jenny Watson. Residents were invited to attend a launch party and open house on Saturday, Sept. 10 p.m. to feel the beat and learn about the exceptional program.

About Feel the Beat: Since its founding in 2016, Feel the Beat has served more than 6,000 students of all ages and abilities through hip-hop, jazz, ballet, and movement classes. After running a successful dance studio for several years in Wheat Ridge, Feel the Beat now partners with community organizations and locations to install its floor and curriculum in community spaces including at Whitlock Recreation Center.
