Also available on Apple , Spotify, Google, YouTube and all major podcasts apps.
Dancer, choreographer, and documentary filmmaker Dan Watt joins Elle for the first episode of March, which is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. He is eager to share his film Everybody Dance, which follows a group of diverse dancers with various disabilities as they prepare for a recital with an inclusive dance studio, Ballet For All Kids. Dan, who is not disabled, and Elle, who has acquired a disability later in her life, discuss their love of the arts, the joys and challenges of working creatively with children of any ability, and their evolving capacities to center the voices, consent, and autonomy of the disabled individuals with whom they have worked.
