Meet Link Pulse™

Two hands, one connection

Link Pulse™ is a pair of wearables — Lead and Follow — that connect over Sonra™, our low-latency dance protocol. They speak a haptic language called Pulses — the feel of a real partner, transmitted instantly.

Link Pulse Lead and Follow wearables
Lead hand

Link Pulse Lead™

Worn by the leader. Senses frame, direction and impulse, and transmits Lead Taps and Turn Cues to the Follow Pulse over Sonra.

Follow hand

Link Pulse Follow™

Worn by the follower. Receives the lead's cues as Pulses, mirrors frame tension back, and feeds the connection metric in real time.

1. Wear your Pulse
A featherweight band on each dancer's wrist — Lead on one, Follow on the other. Senses motion, beat, and frame.
2. Pair with a Dance Code
Open Link, enter a 6-character Dance Code on both Pulses. You're in a Baila.
3. Feel each other dance
Your partner's movement reaches you as Pulses — beat, lead, turns — in under 80ms over Sonra.

The Pulse language

Six trademarked haptic signals form the vocabulary every Link Pulse speaks. The same Pulse means the same thing in every country, every style.

Beat Pulse
Steady metronome tap on the downbeat. Locks you to the music.
Lead Tap
Direction cue from a Lead — left, right, forward, back.
Follow Tap
Mirror of the partner's frame for the Follow.
Turn Cue
Spiral pulse on the wrist — a turn is coming.
Break Cue
Sharp double-tap on the break (1 and 5).
Hold
Sustained pressure — pause, listen, stay.
Branded metric
Sync Score

A 0–100 measure of how locked you are with your partner across beat, frame and direction. Updated every second of a Baila.

Branded metric
Compás Rating

A letter grade (A–E) for rhythmic accuracy, based on how close your steps land to the clave.
