FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ: EPISODE 211: Voices. Special Guest: Alyx Ruibal

On this episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ, we are lucky to have with us one of the most exciting young voices to pop up on our radar that we can hardly contain ourselves.  She is Alyx Ruibal, who has become a social media personality and uses her platform for a myriad of significant reasons. She is striving to become a professional dancer and demonstrates the many techniques she's developed over the years.  She is a burgeoning actress who recently wrapped her first feature film, a family drama called HELLBENT ON BOOGIE about a young woman with autism that wants to become a professional dancer (not unlike herself) but lives at home with her domineering mother in a trailer park until her wayward brother comes home and chaos ensues. She also uses it to promote social awareness, representation and activism for people with autism. 

 

Roger and Pete are joined by Nate, the Buzzard artiste, who is filling co-hosting duties on this episode for George due mainly to the fact that Nate is a veteran special education teacher with twenty years in the field. 

 

Alyx has been coming to terms with her autism all of her life. Being non-verbal as a small child she has developed into a very exciting, insightful, witty and extraordinarily intelligent woman. She went to Rutgers for dance. Nate has never quite met anyone like her in his years of teaching. Alyx comes armed and she teaches these old Buzzards a thing or two that they thought they knew already, those know-it-alls. 

 

So, put on your dance shoes, get that cell phone out, take a few pics and vids for your IG or TikTok, put that phone away, and fire up another exciting episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ.  We have Alyx Ruibal in the house!
