Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Taylor began his dance training at the age of nine at the Letha Fulton’s School of Dance after watching West Side Story. When he was twelve his dance teacher said he needed to learn how to point his feet and made him take his first ballet class; since then he has never stopped. In 2018 Taylor moved to Florida to continue his dance education at the Sarasota Cuban Ballet School. This is Taylor’s first season with Minnesota Ballet.
