This week, thirteen years old co-host, Leta, gets a bit personal as she discusses how her dance teachers words left deep wounds. 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. A place where teachers take the time to understand the needs of their students.
