Colorado’s Top Rated Local® Dance School Award Winner: Feel The Beat

At Top Rated Local®, we’re proud to announce that Feel The Beat is an award-winning dance school in Colorado, thanks to their impressive Rating Score™.

Feel The Beat is a dance studio in Wheat Ridge with a mission to expose individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing and with special needs to the world of music and dance education. Their unique curriculum incorporates sign language, a vibrational dance floor and specialty tools to create the ultimate music and dance experience.

Feel The Beat has received many positive reviews, and that has helped them earn an award-winning Rating Score of 96.0. Here are just a couple of their many stand-out reviews:

“We had my granddaughter’s birthday party here at Feel The Beat. It was awesome. The staff danced with all of the kids and had them so busy for over an hour. This place is so awesome for the kids since they are hard of hearing. Who says that a deaf child doesn’t have rhythm?” – Lynn M

“We are so happy to have found such an inclusive program! Everyone we have interacted with at Feel The Beat has been so positive and wonderful, and we plan to keep attending as many classes as we can for as long as we can!” – Andrea T

How has Feel The Beat managed to get so many positive reviews from their clients and build such a solid reputation? We sat down with Co-Founder Julia Faliano to find out.

What is your secret to such a strong online reputation?

We believe in forming quality relationships with each student and their family. We focus on open communication with the parents to help nurture the relationship with the student and to ensure that they have the best experience possible.

What makes you different? In other words, if you had one minute to sell somebody on why they should choose you, what would you say?

We are unique in that we cater to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. We have a one-of-a-kind, vibrating dance floor that creates a tactile experience for our students, not just an auditory one.

Why do you do what you do? In other words, what is your mission and/or how do you attempt to make the world a better place?

Both of our founders are teachers of the deaf. We quickly realized a need for a presence of music and dance in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and we wanted to give these students the opportunity to experience the expression of dance and music first-hand.

Outside of building a strong online reputation, what else do you do to market and grow your business?

A couple of times a year, we host community events and invite all of our students, friends and family. We have a fall event this October, where we will have live music, food and games. This is something we try to do quarterly to keep community involvement and awareness high.

What advice do you have for other businesses trying to build a strong online reputation and grow their business?

Whatever you do, always keep your passion at the forefront of your business. Connect with your customers, and make sure they know that they are your number one priority.


Here at Feel The Beat, we are very student-focused because they are who we are here for.

Congratulations to the team at Feel The Beat for making such a huge impact on their community, for earning so many amazing reviews and for being 2018 Top Rated Local Award Winner!
