Competition Director

Taylor grew up dancing at Larkin Dance Studio from the age of 4 to 18. She trained in all styles of dance including contemporary, ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip-hop, and musical theatre. After she graduated, she attended the University of Minnesota where she competed on the dance team and captained her senior year. As a member of the team, she won 4 national championships with the Universal Dance Association. During that time, she also got the opportunity to teach and choreograph for other dance teams across the country. She worked two seasons as a coach and choreographer for Innovate Dance and for many high school and college dance teams. She is the head fall dance team coach for Benilde St. Margarets where she choreographs halftime routines, trains the dancers in conditioning and technique, and prepares them for their winter season. She has also been the competition director here at Project 52 Dance Company for the past 5 years. She loves training dancers to help them grow in their movement quality, performance, and technical ability. While being a dancer herself was an absolute privilege, her passion now lies in connecting and coaching with each dancer to make sure they have the best experience possible!
