S1 Ep3: Breaking Barriers: Kaylee Bays on Redefining Dance and Disability

In this episode of The Chronically Positive Podcast, I’m joined by Kaylee Bays, a dancer who is breaking barriers and redefining what’s possible in the performing arts. Kaylee shares her journey from discovering her passion for dance to navigating the challenges of living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. We discuss her experiences on So You Think You Can Dance and performing at the Paralympics, the importance of authentic representation in the dance industry, and how she’s adapted movement for disabled dancers. Kaylee also highlights the power of community, connection, and dance as a form of healing and expression. This conversation is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the strength of the disabled community—I can’t wait for you to hear it!
