Episode 21 featuring Nerida Jantti: Dancing Through Neurodiversity – Movement, Joy & Authentic Connection
In this inspiring and joy-filled episode of Uncovering Authenticity, I sit down with the magnetic Nerida Jantti—professional dancer, coach, and the heart behind a movement that’s transforming lives through dance.
What began as playful TikToks during lockdown with her two neurodiverse sons quickly blossomed into a global community rooted in inclusion, authenticity, and joy. From TV stages to community halls, Nerida’s story is one of resilience, rhythm, and real connection.
Together, we explore:
💃 How dance helped Nerida and her boys navigate the challenges of lockdown and neurodiversity
🌟 The rise of a social media movement grounded in joy, relatability, and real life
🧠 Supporting neurodivergent children through movement and emotional regulation
🎉 From lounge-room dance parties to sold-out community events—and what makes them so powerful
🏫 Her exciting new project: a dance education program for primary schools and a movement library for families and teachers
🤝 Why businesses and teams are embracing “The Nera Effect” to build connection, confidence, and culture
One unforgettable takeaway?
“When you move with love, others move with you.”
If you’re a parent, educator, business leader, or someone seeking more connection in your life, this episode will uplift your spirit and remind you of the healing, unifying power of movement.
