The Taylor School, established in 1984, is under the direction of Taylor Alumna, Carolyn Adams. As the educational arm of the Paul Taylor Dance Foundation, the School seeks to embrace the rich multicultural history of the dance field while providing innovative educational initiatives to empower, inspire and support the next generation of dancers, dance makers, dance audiences, and dance advocates. Through focused programming, high-quality dance education is offered to students of all ages and levels, including introductory and professional level classes, our semester-long Youth/Adult Program, and the touring Taylor Teen Ensemble. Another unique Taylor offering is the Jody and John Arnhold Tier 3 Dance Education and Audience Development Initiative, which offers free dance classes and tickets to the Company’s New York Seasons to K-12 students throughout the state of New York. The Taylor School has achieved distinction by the virtue of outstanding and dedicated faculty members - including current members of the Taylor Company, Taylor alumni and guest artists. The School has become a home base for an increasing number of young dancers in New York City who are not connected or affiliated with universities or conservatories. Students receive individual attention, mentoring, performance opportunities and a generous scholarships program. For more information visit paultaylordance.org/school
