BEAT stands for Bloomington Expressive Arts Training, a vibrant program founded in 2012 that blends vocal and movement arts into dynamic performances. Led by co-founders Brennan Wilder (Co-Executive Director & Choreographer) and Ly Wilder (Co-Executive Director & Vocal Director), BEAT serves multiple age groups through its ensembles Amplitude (high school, grades 9–12), Syncopation (grades 5–8), and Mini-Sync (grades 1–5). The program produces two annual showcases in Bloomington—fall and spring—along with a Holiday Show, highlighting a robust tradition of community engagement and artistic growth. BEAT regularly stages performances at Bloomington-area venues such as Buskirk-Chumley Theater, John Waldron Arts Center, and IU Auditorium. We’ve got you covered for BEAT events, including the upcoming BEAT Spring Show.
