β FOUNDER UPDATE | TEDx Speaker π€ β
Iβm proud to share that as a Founder of Unique Movez, I am now officially a TEDx speaker β a moment that means so much to me as a creative leader, and advocate for lived experience.
𩰠From being that shy 4-year-old girl at the back of the dance floor⦠to now taking centre stage and sharing my journey as a dyslexic and autistic dancer.
π€ My talk: Dyslexia, Dance, Autism and Me
This moment did not happen overnight. It took time, dedication, faith, consistency, mentorship, and a willingness to keep refining my voice.
As the founder of Unique Movez Dance Collective CIC, I know how powerful it is to create spaces where expression, inclusion, and lived experience are valued. This TEDx opportunity reflects those same values. unique tay - uk dance blog
π‘ My talk begins with the phrase:
βTwo steps forward, slide to the left, side tap, side tapβ
β words that hold so much of my story.
Iβm deeply grateful to the TEDxWolverhampton
organising team, the volunteers, and the incredible speakers I shared this experience with. And to Arena Theatre that hosted it, a place connected to my early years in performing arts.
π― I also want to thank myself for showing up for the version of me that wanted this.
Thanks to our supporters, family and friends for showing up too! π

β¨ The Balance of Our Tribe. Looking at these words, it is clear that dance is both a deeply personal therapy and a massive collective superpower.
πΏ Some of us dance to look inward and connect with our own bodies, while others dance to connect outward with the tribe.
To those who shared their voice: thank you so much for your beautiful vulnerability.
To those who chose to listen, support from the sidelines, or didn't get a chance to be featured this time: please know your energy is woven into every single one of these words.
π€ We see you, we value you, and you are a vital part of this collective.

π Throwback to a Year Ago: Celebrating Our Dance Family! π
β¨Time flies when youβre building community! One year ago, our team stepped away from the studio floor to hold a vital Not-for-Profit Branding Away Day. ππΌ
As a CIC, finding a space that feels safe, supportive, and welcoming is everything to us. We hired the wonderful studio space at for the first time, and it felt like a home away from home. π‘
Safe to say, it gets a massive green tick from us!
β
We want to give a huge, well-deserved spotlight to this local gem. Here is why we absolutely loved it:
π‘ Cosy, Intimate & Private β It felt like a nurturing sanctuary where our team could truly relax and think creatively.
π Heart of the City β Super easy to locate with effortless public transport links and local shops right on the doorstep.
β Thoughtful Amenities β The kitchenette and restroom access kept us feeling looked after and fueled all day.
π₯ Bonus Generosity β Having access to their dance resources and projector allowed us to bring our vision to life. Talking Dance Without Moving ππΎ
π£οΈβ¨We spent the day focusing on how to better serve you, our community. We were incredibly proud to collaborate with the brilliant PR agency .diagonaldance who specialise in dance.
Together, we dived deep into community engagement, visibility, and ways to uplift the sector.
ππ£A magnificent thank you to the visionary founder for creating such an inspiring local space, and a special shout-out to the wonderful for looking after us so beautifully on the day. You are both absolute stars!
βIf you are looking for a venue built with heart and passion, we highly recommend this space in Birmingham, UK. Letβs keep supporting the local spaces that keep our community moving! ποΈβ€οΈ
