"As a choreographer, I tend to mostly work with dance artist that have trained within my choreographic style and understand my ethos and movement. I've spent a significant amount of time over the last decade and a half training dancers to become back up dancers for recording artist and to follow the path I once achieved as a dancer myself. My next phase of teaching is about influencing dancers to aspire to be the greatest dance artist they can be." - Chad Taylor
Student Testimonials
"I had the honour of having Chad as one of my first dance teachers when I started my training journey back in 2010. Chad has always had the eye for visually great choreography and the ear for intricate musicality, he really is one of a kind in his field and has always been ahead of his time with his creativity. What makes Chad stand out as a teacher, is that he understands and is able to teach the foundational steps that a dancer needs to be able to execute different styles of choreography, he also is able to execute anything he expects from his students, which is why I have always had so much confidence in him as a teacher, mentor/ choreography. I definitely wouldn't be the dancer I am today without Chad’s contribution."

"Chad Taylor was one of my first ever dance teachers/mentors that started me on my path to becoming a professional dancer and choreographer. He taught me resilience, consistency and strength, alongside grooves, foundations and musicality. His training really helped me develop a skill that I use even now when I teach classes and workshops and that’s to be disciplined, from warm up exercises to training and conditioning my body to exactly what it needs, and that’s something I will carry throughout the rest of my career as a dance artist!"

"My journey as a professional dancer and now choreographer/ creative would not have been the same without Chad’s guidance, dedication, and belief in me. From the very beginning, he saw potential was there as a leader to help shape and refine not only my technique but my mindset in order to keep pushing for more in all areas of the industry.
His classes were never just about steps they were about pushing boundaries, understanding the depth of movement, and expressing emotions through dance. It was with Chad that I learned to be confident in my artistry, to trust the process, and to embrace the highs and lows of this journey.
He’s not just a teacher; he’s a catalyst for growth, a true artist, and a mentor who invests wholeheartedly in his students' success."
