What is inmuDANCE? An inmuDANCE is a therapeutic sensory tool that plays uplifting, happy music and vibrates with movement.

With large and more vigorous movements, the orchestra plays loudly, and with small movements, the music is quieter and less complex. Keep the inmuDANCE still, and the music will quieten and then stop. Move it slightly and the inmuDANCE will start playing again. The inmuDANCE is powered by rechargeable battery, which is hidden inside the body of the 'pebble' shaped cushion, with only the charging port visible.
