From ballet to hip-hop, every class is designed with neurodivergent communication, learning styles, and sensory needs in mind—no masking, no pressure, just expression.🩰 What we talk about:Why traditional dance studios often fail autistic dancersHow Autistic Wings created the first IEP-style adaptive dance curriculumThe emotional impact of being seen—and not shoved to the sideWhy therapists are now recommending dance as an alternative form of expressionTheir mission to expand into a larger, sensory-safe space to serve even more dancersWhether you're an autism parent, educator, or just someone who believes in inclusion with soul, this episode will move you—literally and emotionally.🌐 Support Autistic Wings Dance Company:📍 autisticwingsdancecompany.org🎁 Donate or sponsor a class to keep tuition affordable for ALL neurodivergent dancers🎧 Listen to Amanda & Leta’s podcast: Leta's Tap Styles📸 Follow on TikTok & IG: @AutisticWingsDance | @LetaTapStyles☕ Love the show?
