Self-advocacy, what is it, why does it matter and how does it apply to your pole/aerial journey? I believe that finding your voice and speaking up for yourself on the regular helps us in every area of life, and I see a valuable place for it in the aerial classroom as well.
In this guide, I discuss:
• What self advocacy means and how to advocate for yourself
• How self advocacy relates to our training and development as dancers
• Types of discrimination students and instructors can face in the aerial classroom • My experience with discrimination, how it’s impacted my development as an instructor and how I approach my teaching craft.
