Born in New Jersey, but currently based in Austin, TX, Taylor serves as a performer and choreographer for a company called DivaDance. Here, Taylor is able to teach choreography-based classes for adults while also being able to inspire and empower dancers of all levels.Taylor didn’t grow up dancing as a kid, but instead found her love for dance in high school. During her freshman year and all throughout the rest of her time in high school, she was actively involved and served on the drill team called ‘The Strutters’. Dance was something that she never expected to do, let alone become passionate about and make it her career. She is super grateful that she found dance when she did and knows that this form of art movement was always meant for her.

Her choreographic work has been featured at large dance events, including conferences in Las Vegas and Nashville. In her first year at DivaDance, she was recognized as the Rising Star Instructor, followed by an even greater honor—being named Worldwide 2023 Instructor of the Year out of 50 franchise locations across the country. She has had the opportunity to work with and choreograph for local ATX artists’ music videos such as “Sheesh” by Marlie, and also has had the experience of a lifetime not only performing for, but also choreographing the halftime performance for the San Antonio Spurs basketball game in 2024. Additionally, She has successfully choreographed and directed numerous dance performances, recitals, parades, and competitions, showcasing the talent and dedication of those she works with.

Taylor is dedicated to providing a supportive and inspiring learning environment where her students can develop their technical skills, creativity, and self expression through dance. Taylor believes in fostering a love for dance in people and helping them reach their full potential as dancers. She hopes to continue to progress in her art and skill and to strive for much bigger goals, such as choreographing larger-scale performances, expanding her teaching opportunities, and one day performing for big named artists. All while continuing to inspire others.
