Testimonials
Tayla is amazing. I left dancing years ago because it wasn’t my career choice and recently I took it on again as a form of creative expression and stress relief. I took on coaching with Tayla and she was prepared to teach me choreography. I was so happy. I love how she quickly found where I most needed correction and encouragement, she understood my strengths and weaknesses. Our classes were always an inspiration to me. Thank you!!
Tayla was amazing at my daughter’s 5th birthday party. She kept the kids entertained with a mixture of dance and games. She was fantastic with all the kids and made sure everyone had a fun afternoon! I would definitely recommend for parties and dance classes
This girl gives nothing but positive vibes. Zest for life, energy, and positive enforcement. I would not recommend her training higher. She has the most positive motivation of anyone I know and carries that across to inspire her students. All done in a secure and safe environment,ent. She will get you to your goals and beyond!
I have known and worked with Tayla for the past few years and could not recommend her more highly. She is a talented and hard-working dancer who has an incredible and natural ability to inspire and encourage those around her – making her a fabulous teacher. She makes her classes fun and enjoyable for all clients, she accommodates to different levels and makes all her students feel comfortable.
