Dr. James D Walters, Assistant Professor of Dance Danielle Lydia Sheather, and Professional Dancer Tayla Kelly discuss how her Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) diagnosis hasn't slowed her down one bit! Tayla let's us know how she learned to advocate for herself and her health in the professional ballet world and learned to use her voice. Along with sharing her story she also let's us know about her time on Dancing with the Stars and we consider how health care professionals can provide better care by understanding that dance is a livelihood for some of us and that getting us to our healthy body might require an extra push because our bodies are what support us financially.
