Our unique program to expand each student’s experience of Paul Taylor’s movement style
Created in 2013, the Taylor Teen Ensemble is a pre-professional performing company made up of young dancers ages 13-18 seeking advanced training and performing opportunities. Members are chosen by audition for a one-year commitment. In addition to learning and performing excerpts of Paul Taylor’s repertory, dancers train in advanced technical classes while developing their own artistic voices through creative composition classes.
The Taylor Teen Ensemble invites young dancers to experience the broad spectrum of the dance field, including its rich history and the creativity of today. In addition to performing in our own studios, the Ensemble has toured throughout the tri-state area, performing at festivals and K–12 public and private schools, as well as larger venues such as Symphony Space, Peridance Capezio Center, and SUNY Purchase.
Ensemble members are required to commit to the full year and adhere to the following schedule, though the schedule may be subject to change. For questions about the 2026-2027 academic year, please contact as@ptdc.org.
