Leta's Tap Styles

Send us a text

Have you ever felt the rhythm of life through your soul? Join us as Leta, a 13-year-old autistic dancer with severe dyslexia, captivates you with her stories from the world of tap dance. From her passion for urban and Hollywood culture to her adorable puppies and the thrill of the upcoming DC Tap Fest, Leta’s journey is nothing short of exhilarating. Despite facing technical setbacks with live streaming, she shares vivid experiences on stage, highlighting the poetic essence of dance. With unforgettable moments alongside mentors and fellow dancers at SoleTalk, and her favorite class, Afrofunk led by the spirited Miss Maud, Leta’s enthusiasm is contagious.
In the second part, we imagine a world where literature and dance collide. Recall the richly illustrated first editions of Sherlock Holmes as we discuss the need for similar visuals in today's adult literature. Brainstorm with us as we create new book series featuring young tap dancers, including an electrifying superhero series inspired by a young Maude Arnold. These adventures promise to bring the art of tap dancing to a broader audience, crossing genres and multiverses. We wrap up with some lighthearted fun about preparing for DC Tap Fest and the crucial role of keeping tap dance alive in both film and literature. Don't miss out on this lively and imaginative discussion!
