Having a sibling close to you in age means you spend most of your early lives together. In this interactive presentation, I will talk about my life as a Japanese undergrad student and my relationship with my younger sister who has Down Syndrome, specifically the precious opportunities and valuable experiences she has brought to me. Our relationship has changed over time, and not only does she bring a lot of joy to my life, but she has also given me new perspectives on working with people with neurodiversity, which is still a relatively new concept in Japan. I will also share my related experience of teaching dancing to a class of neurologically diverse students for about 6 years and discuss the importance of having such a safe and comfortable space, both for students and myself. Videos and photos of the dance classes will be used to demonstrate and compare the differences between typical dance classes and classes for neurologically diverse students. Tips on teaching such classes will be shared, as well as the history and logistics of setting up such a class for anyone interested in setting up similar classes in the future. The session will also include rounds of audience discussion and sharing as well as a short Q&A segment.
