In this episode of the Leta’s Tap Styles Podcast, Leta and Amanda look at Leta’s Five Least Favorite Costumes, and the roll Leta’s complex sensory issues had on the list. They discuss the lack of understanding and knowledge most dance teachers have about sensory issues, and how those can affect a dancer’s ability to perform onstage. They touch on the challenges faced by autistic kids in traditional dance environments, emphasizing the importance of understanding the spectrum of sensory sensitivities. The episode also delves into Leta's personal experiences with various recital costumes, counting down her Top Five Most Hated Costumes, and discussing why they caused discomfort and explaining how these issues impact performance. The discussion aims to raise awareness among dance studio owners, teachers, and neurotypical parents to better accommodate the needs of neurodivergent dancers.
