Discover the transformative power of dance in language development as we explore innovative strategies with our special guest, Jeaneen Tang, author of "Play Dumb and Sabatoge". Jeaneen shares her expertise on how integrating dance vocabulary gradually and employing multimodal learning approaches can significantly benefit children with autism and speech and language challenges, along with neurotypical children.
We discuss the importance of patience, flexibility, and setting clear expectations to create structured learning environments where both autistic and neurotypical children can thrive. Through personal stories, like that of Leta, we highlight the joy and effectiveness of these tailored teaching methods that enhance learning experiences for all.

Send us a text In this engaging conversation, Amanda and Leta discuss the intersection of autism and the dance studio. They focus on the importance of true authenticity and the detrimental effects of masking. They explore the challenges faced by autistic dancers in traditional dance environments, the role of teachers in fostering inclusivity, modeling true authenticity to their students, and the impact of generational trauma on perceptions of both physical and “hidden” limitations. (Such as physical disabilities, dyslexia, autism, and other disabilities.) Leta and Amanda emphasize the need for supportive spaces where everyone – dance teachers and dance students - can be their authentic self freely without the pressure to conform to societal expectations. They also discuss the need for dance teachers to practice what they preach, being their authentic selves in the classroom. They end talking about how dance teachers need to realize that the dance teachers were never broken or unworthy, that the dance teachers do not need to mask, and that the dance teachers should be their authentic self.

How Masking Impacts the Autistic Dance Student 46:34

cách đây 6 weeks trước46:34

46:34

Send us a text In this episode of the Leta’s Tap Styles, Leta and Amanda discuss the lifelong impacts of masking on autistic dancers. They discuss how dance studio owners and teachers – while well meaning – often cause harm by not understanding what masking is, how it manifests itself, and the physical and emotional harm masking causes. Even the most “inclusive” space seems to demand that their autistic dancers mask in order to make the studio owners and dance teachers not feel uncomfortable. Amanda and Leta share personal stories of when they were forced by adults to mask, just so others felt more “at ease” with Leta and Amanda. Throughout the episode, they criticize the lack of genuine inclusivity and address the misconceptions about autism being a 'superpower.' They also highlight the importance of creating an environment where autistic dancers can be themselves without the need to mask, referring to their own Autistic Wings Dance Company as a model for inclusivity. Places like Autistic Wings Dance Company - where autistic dancers aren't asked to mask but allowed to have their "quirks" - are few and far between.

Coming at the discussion from her invisible hip issues, Leta and Amanda discuss how dance teachers never fully understood how Leta's hip works. They talk about how dance teachers inability to fully comprehend the extent of Leta's hip problems have led to issues; from pushing Leta to the point of Leta hurting her hip again, to convincing Leta she will never be able to dance. Even the love and acceptance from Leta's SoleTalk Family isn't strong enough to fully heal the wounds left by others. We end by talking about how everyone needs a safe space to dance.
