#0037: Anna Mayta on perseverance, wanting to be good + learning to say "I don't care/No me importa nada" to haters

Her work in creative movement, as a teacher and bringing together a fusion-style of dance, has taken her all over the world. She intertwines her life and real-world experiences in her choreography to tell a story and also uses dance as a way to teach her students about music and life. During our conversation, Anna opens up about perseverance and being able to overcome some serious challenges. For her, those challenges revolved a lot around language. She grew up in Chile, and in her own words, had a bicultural childhood while working through dyslexia, being a sensitive child, and coping with bullying because she looked different than her Chilean peers. She describes what it took to grow into the teacher and dancer that she is today. She shares how she learned to say, “It doesn’t matter,” while balancing with her desire to be good.Selected link love + resources from the episodeConnect with Anna on social media: Email | Facebook | YouTube | WebsiteNo Me Importa Nada, Luz CasalJanet Ruhe-Schoen, Artist and Author (And, Anna’s mom!)OMIAnne of Green GablesThe Adventures of Huckleberry FinnThe Secret GardenKaty Moonan shared her experiences about being bilingual in Episode 12 of Le vital corps SalonFlamencoModern DanceFlamenco Festival in Hudson Valley NYToastMastersKickass Theme Music: “Things Are Getting Better” Written by Rishi Dhir.
