Episode Notes

Interview with Jana Meszaros; Promoting Freedom and Equality

In this episode of DanceCast, Silva interviews Jana Meszaros, a DanceAbility instructor in Eugene, OR.
Jana describes her small-town upbringing, how she discovered DanceAbility through contact
improvisation, and her road to becoming a Master Teacher. She shares her belief in DanceAbility as a
tool for creating experiences where disabled and non-disabled dancers can dance together, as well as
her preference for the term ‘facilitator’ rather than ‘teacher’ because everyone in the room can always
learn from each other.
