with autism to be themselves, quirks and all

📺 We interrupt your scrolling for an urgent community pledge drive.

Moments like Spencer’s first recital are made possible by viewers like you.

Spencer’s parents were told they might never see him take the stage. But after months of dedicated, sensory-safe training—and our 15-year-old founder, Leta, literally guarding the exit doors until the room felt safe—Spencer danced in his very first recital.

High-support dance instruction costs $171/hr ($1,372/mo). A price Spencer's Family - nor any family really - can afford to pay. That's why every dancer at Autistic Wings is on a partial or full ride scholarship.

However, our scholarship fund is officially empty, and enrollment is frozen until we can fill it up. We can't bring another dancer off the sidelines without our community stepping up. Without our community filling that scholarship fund up again.

Our virtual phone bank is open:

$5/mo (Backstage Crew): Keeps our studio lights bright

🏡 $10/mo (Sustaining Neighbor): Unlocks major grant leverage.

🎗️ $25/mo (Spencer’s Ribbons Brigade): Buys sensory ribbons and props.

🎭 $100/mo (VIP Producer): Directly funds tuition for our waitlist.

Our operators (well, our website) are standing by. Tap the Fan Club link in our bio to make your pledge today!

Autistic Wings is going on the road! Join us at the ACCESS Community Event on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 1:00–4:00 p.m.. We will be setting up our booth at the CORE Community Center (5450 Meridian Rd, Peyton, CO).

When you arrive, look for our purple Golden Chrysalises banner to meet our co-founder, Leta! We will be answering questions and sharing how to get on the waitlist to learn more about our classes at Autistic Wings.

🚨 We interrupt this broadcast for an urgent Scholarship Drive! 🚨
Right now, our scholarship funds are completely tapped out, meaning we cannot bring a single new neurodivergent dancer onto the floor. We have dancers waiting, and we need your help to make the math work.
We are looking for just 28 local neighbors or businesses to become monthly sustainers at $100 a month. Reaching this goal will immediately unlock the studio doors for four new dancers to take flight.
Stop by our booth to also learn how you can support our Scholarship Fund in person, or head to the "pledge bank" in the first comment below to visit our Colorado Gives page and become a monthly sustainer today!

Cue the telethon music and man the phones. ☎️

Autistic Wings provides high-support, sensory-friendly dance education, but right now, we are in the red. A bunch of eager new dancers signed up this month just as we lost a major financial donor. We want to raise enough money to cover four new full scholarship students so no one gets left behind.

We need 28 VIP Producers ($100/mo) or 110 Ribbon Brigade members ($25/mo). You can help by making a one-time donation, grabbing a ticket to ParTee, joining the Fan Club, or just hyping this video! Scroll to the first comment for all the links.

You don't need a ticket. Just show up! Tag a neighbor below to invite them.

We can't wait to see you on October 17th!

When injury threw our shoot a last-minute curveball, 15-year-old autistic tap dancer and founder Leta did what she does best: improvised a full Texas Tailgaters style walkup right in the dirt! ⚾️✨

Help us hit our 10,000 views goal to show local sponsors that our community stands behind Autistic Wings! 💥

That's right, neighbors. We're just 24 hours away from our Super Secret Video Project dropping! Set your alarms for 5:00PM on October 1st!

2 DAYS UNTIL THE WORLD PREMIERE! ⏰⚾️

Our Super Secret Banana Ball themed video drops THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1ST AT 5:00 PM MDT!

We have a huge goal: We need to hit 10,000 views right after it drops. Fox21 News will actually be in our studio filming us at 5:00 PM, and if we hit that view surge in the first few hours, it triggers a local news broadcast story to help us raise money for studio scholarships! 📺✨

Because our team will be teaching Ballet 1 during the launch, we are relying on YOU—our incredible neighborhood—to be our launch team!

Here is your 4-step mission for Thursday at 5:00 PM:

Set an alarm for 4:55 PM Thursday!

Watch the FULL video without skipping (Watching all 72 seconds tells the algorithm to push it out!).

Leave a comment (Tag 2 friends, or tag , , or !).

Share it directly to your story or text the link to 3 friends!

Leta, Faith, and Shea from Amazing Care poured their hearts into making this happen. Let’s show everyone what our community can do! See you Thursday at 5:00 PM! 💛

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be Autistic Wings’ neighbor? 💛

A true neighbor is someone who is there in the good times, and the first one to be there when things get a little rough.

Long before we had studio doors to open, Amazing Care Home Health Services was already standing right beside us. When our founder, Leta, was just a 12-year-old autistic dancer with a big dream and an empty room, they believed in her. When nobody came to our open houses or classes, they showed up. When we lost our studio overnight and had to find a new home, they stayed. And as our empty rooms grew into full classes, they cheered for every single step.

Amazing Care was there again when we concocted this harebrained idea to do a viral Banana Ball Championship League themed video. They were there through the hours of rehearsals. And when Faith got hurt the day before our big video shoot, Shea Thun from Amazing Care didn't hesitate—he stepped right up to the plate to be our pitcher. ⚾️

That’s what being a Presenting Sponsor really means. It isn't just about writing a check. It’s about being a helper, a supporter, and a friend through every season.

🗓️ OUR SUPER SECRET VIDEO DROPS THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1ST! 🎬

We set a big goal to reach 10,000 views on this release and welcome new friends into our neighborhood. Here is how you can help us grow:

Watch, Comment, Like & Share: Tune in Thursday, watch the video to the end, comment (and tag some friends!), like, share, and help us hit 10,000 views!

Join Our Neighborhood: Follow along as we aim for 2,500 Facebook followers. (We're at 2344 right now.)

Sponsor or Donate: Want to stand with us like Amazing Care does? Local businesses and supporters across the country can donate directly at https://www.coloradogives.org/Autistic-Wings-Dance-Company (or via the link in our bio!).

Hey Amazing Care Home Health Services , what do you think of Shea's pitching? 😉 🍌

Thank you for being just who you are, and for being our neighbor. See you Thursday! ✨

Help us welcome a new neighbor to our October 25th Trunk-or-Treat! 🎃✨

With another El Niño fall rolling in, anyone who was in Colorado in late October '97 remembers just how fast a cozy autumn afternoon can turn into a surprise blizzard! 🌨️👀

Our friends at ACCESS Christian Church might just know something we don’t, because they’ve already claimed a cozy INDOOR table right inside Leta’s Studio for our Annual Trunk-or-Treat on Sunday, October 25th! Smart move, neighbors. 😉

We are so excited to team up with ACCESS Christian Church for two great events this month:

📍 First Stop (Saturday, Oct 17): We’re heading over to Resource Fair to meet their families, share resources, and connect with our local community!

📍 Second Stop (Sunday, Oct 25 | 2–5 PM MT): Then ACCESS is coming to our house! They’ll have a resource table set up inside Leta's Studio alongside , plus Leta’s Tap Jam and a full parking lot of sensory-safe Trunk-or-Treating!

❄️ And hey—if El Niño decides to give us an October '97 repeat on the 25th, don't worry! We'll just pull the trunks right into Faith's Studio, set Leta up for a tap jam in the middle of it all, and keep the party going warm and dry inside!

🚗 Want to host an outdoor trunk? We’re still looking for a few more friendly neighbors, local businesses, and community groups to decorate a trunk out front and pass out treats! Send us a DM or drop a comment below to reserve your spot! 🎃👇

We’ll see you on Oct 17th at ACCESS, and then right here in the studio on Oct 25th! 💛
