From the reviews
I attended their performance of the nutcracker in 2024! I’ve always loved the nutcracker. I have only been to the big show once and have not been able to afford to go ever since then since it was a Christmas gift years ago.
We have been dancing with Jill Taylor for 12 years since we started dance at age 3. She came highly recommended from our preschool teacher whose daughter was dancing there and had a wonderful experience with Jill. We immediately knew we were blessed to have found this small but professionally run studio.
This seems to be a great ballet school. I am moving to North Carolina and I really want to go to this dance school.
Absolutely amazing I have danced there for nearly 7 years and I love the teacher and all of the students!
Your first ballet class at TAYLOR ACADEMY OF DANCE
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
