In this episode of Leta’s Tap Styles, we talk about how anyone can dance. It doesn’t matter who you are, you can dance. We talk a bit about some of those people who were told they couldn’t dance or sing, or play a guitar. Yet they became some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. We also thank Autistic Wings Dance Company’s April Donors and Supporters. And we finally get to tell the world that So Danca is one of the studio’s supporters! We end with a call for everyone to get out there and dance. Film it, post it online. Tag @letatapstyles on Instagram or @letatapstylespodcast on TikTok so we can repost your amazing dancing skills.
