The Feel the Beat City Filming Location: Where was Feel the Beat filmed?
Posted by Ra Moon
The Netflix comedy-drama Feel the Beat is a story of redemption about April, an ambitious young dancer.
After blowing a Broadway audition by offending the show's producer, she decides to go back to her small village in the countryside.

Sofia Carson (Descendants movie series, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists) leads the cast as April and Wolfgang Novogratz (The Half of It, The Last Summer) plays his ex-boyfriend, Nick.
Most of the film is set in the city of New York and in the tiny town of New Hope in Wisconsin.
However, Feel the Beat was entirely filmed in and around Toronto. Here is our (almost) spoiler-free filming locations report:
The movie combines establishing shots taken in the city of New York with scenes shot in downtown Toronto.
The taxi scene was shot in Old Toronto. Film crews dressed exteriors of store windows to look like the Big Apple.
April's house exteriors are located at 69 Gloucester Street (Church and Wellesley).

ReplyDeleteFYI there is no city of new Hope. It is a rural township 20 miles east of Stevens Point, WI. The look of the area is spot on. It reminds me of Amherst, WI, about 7 miles south of New Hope. The post office mimics the International bank of Amherst.
