Tatam Fairclough has been an elite dancer her entire life and growing up, was a star on the rise. You name it she could do it - Ballet, Theatrical, Jazz, Tap, Cabaret & Musical Theatre all day every day! She belonged on stage and was the envy of many with her performances despite hiding her anxiety behind what she describes as her 'Japanese mask.' Something all performers can relate to I'm sure .
Tatam practiced 15+ hours per day as a young child / teenager while obsessively learning to dance. Before school, throughout the day at 'John Curtin Performing Arts High School' in Fremantle, WA and then again after school. It was fun and relentless at the same time and all she really knew growing up.
In 2013, Tatam found her calling and put these dancing and organisational skills towards creating a business she named 'Dance Inclusion' that's just had it's 10 year anniversary (2023). The large majority of the participants in Dance Inclusion have special needs and isn't just any old dance class. It truly is something special. Tatam has used the power of music and dance at its core to help people of all abilities feel a part of something that has such a huge influence on their happiness.
Tatam is passionate that music and dance helps brings people together regardless of ability or physical /mental hurdles they may face and spends her days doing exactly what she wants to do in this space helping others. In her own words, she "gets goose bumps every single day" from the reaction people get from her classes.
How good is that!
This episode is VERY overdue given how much she spends helping others so we hope you enjoy the story of Tatam Fairclough.
