Join Amanda and Leta as they get real about what “adaptive” dance classes are like for autistic dancers—and why that label often misses the mark. In this episode, you’ll hear honest stories from inside the studio, learn what truly makes a dance space supportive, and discover why simply adapting isn’t enough for neurodivergent kids.
We’ll also share resources, fundraising updates, and ways you can get involved—whether you’re a dancer, a parent, or just passionate about inclusion.
