Aj & Curtis Pritchard

Welcome to the Move Beyond Words podcast series. Join us as we amplify the voices of dyslexic people from various backgrounds, like us. As two dyslexic creatives, we want to start a conversation about it and share our journey...from the challenges to the countless rewards.

In the fifth and special live recorded episode, Elizabeth and Charlotte are joined by the brilliant brothers Aj and Curtis Pritchard.

The talented brothers from Stoke-on-Trent are widely recognised on TV screens, having starred in reality and talent shows in both the UK and Ireland.

AJ’s has represented Great Britain around the world, competed in Britain’s Got Talent and in 2016, joined the line-up of Strictly Come Dancing.

Curtis has enjoyed success as a professional dancer on the Ireland’s Dancing with The Stars, as well as competing in The Greatest Dancer and 2019’s hugely popular Love Island.

Both brothers discovered their dyslexia at a young age, having struggled with writing, spelling and getting information down on paper.

On this episode the both open up about their "struggles" with dyslexia, which were heightened when the pair made a move into theatre last year and had to do a script read in front of the rest of the cast.
