Summary

Dance is about more than just moving your body. With today’s technology, it’s easy to layer other elements in addition to movement to create a product of expression. Dance is all about expression, it is for everyone, and it shouldn’t be limited to specific people who “fit the mold.” I’m joined today by Heather Stockton, a content creator and dance teacher who I recently discovered on TikTok. We are discussing accessible dance. Join us! Show Highlights: ● Heather’s background with dance as the “true love” of her life overriding everything as she grew up ● How Heather discovered in college that dance can be a means of communication, storytelling, and expressiveness ● How body issues affected Heather’s first experience of dance not being accessible ● Why Heather’s mission in life is to make dance accessible and inclusive for ALL bodies and break down the stigma that connects it to just one body type ● Heather’s job today as a dance educator in an elementary school and a dance program developer whose work is based on accessibility and inclusion ● How Heather teaches through multiple modalities that apply to every gen ed and special ed student in her classes ● How dance provides multiple benefits for both physical and mental health ● How dance for adults can heal their inner child, provide community, and allow them to be curious, playful, and expressive ● Heather leads us through a BrainDance exercise (developed by Anne Green Gilbert) that can be done by people of any age, from very young children to elderly adults Resources and Links: Connect with Heather Stockton: Website, TikTok, and Instagram Connect with KC: Website, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook Get KC’s book, How to Keep House While Drowning We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
