A New Chapter for the Taylor Center for Dance Education
“Dance is genetic in all of us. We’re just made that way. It’s very important in our lives. Not just theater dancing – social dancing, all kinds of movement” – Paul Taylor, 1996
At the Taylor Center for Dance Education, where movement is a way of life, we are committed to providing high-quality dance education to students of all ages and levels, from introductory classes to rigorous professional training.
Inspired by Paul Taylor’s vision, our mission is to nurture, sustain, and advance the field of dance by sharing Taylor’s rich repertory and exposing students to a wide range of dance styles and techniques.
We offer programs for all levels, including ballet and modern dance classes, youth programs, intensives, and specialized professional courses. Our holistic training approach features a variety of fitness classes such as yoga, functional fitness, and pilates.
We are incorporating Kinotek, a cutting-edge movement science software, to conduct assessments led by certified personal trainers that will measure individual mobility and movement patterns, generating a personal strength program to help prevent injuries.
I’m incredibly excited to contribute to the growth of our students and programs.
Warmly,
—Amy Marshall, Director of Education
