'''Taylor Made Dance & Theatre''' ('''TMDT''', also called '''Taylor Made Studios''') is a dance and theatre training studio founded by the choreographer and educator [[Angela Morando-Taylor]]. It was based in Boca Raton, Florida, until 2023, when Morando-Taylor and her husband, Michael Taylor, moved it to Warren, Pennsylvania. The studio trains young performers in dance, acting, voice and film. Its best-known program prepared high school students for college musical theatre auditions.<ref name="about">{{cite web |url=https://taylormadedanceandtheatre.com/about-us |title=About Us |website=Taylor Made Dance and Theatre |access-date=2026-11-07}}</ref><ref name="to">{{cite web |url=https://www.timesobserver.com/news/local-news/2024/07/professional-performance-educator-brings-connections-and-expertise-home |title=Professional performance educator brings connections and expertise home |website=Times Observer (Warren, Pennsylvania) |date=2024-07}}</ref>

=== College preparation ===
Taylor Made's '''College Prep Conservatory''' (CPC) trained serious students in set programs of dance, voice and acting, and helped them through college musical theatre auditions.<ref name="to" /> Entry was by audition. The studio hosted a satellite of the '''College Audition Project''' (CAP), the national program founded by Broadway performer Dave Clemmons. Through it, seniors could audition for as many as 60 to 70 universities "all under one roof". According to the family of one student, Taylor Made was the only studio in Florida linked with CAP.<ref name="uco">{{cite web |url=https://luanda.dehilster.com/luanda-to-study-musical-theater-at-the-university-of-central-oklahoma/ |title=Luanda To Study Musical Theatre at the University of Central Oklahoma |author=David de Hilster |website=luanda.dehilster.com |date=2023-05-25}}</ref><ref name="to" /> Students also took a '''June Intensive''' each summer, and the studio handled headshots and video audition screenings.<ref name="uco" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://luanda.dehilster.com/bio/ |title=Bio |website=luanda.dehilster.com}}</ref>

Morando-Taylor reports a 100% college placement rate for her students. Alumni have gone on to Point Park University, Elon University and the Berklee College of Music, and to work on Broadway, national tours, cruise ships, at Disney and in film and television.<ref name="to" /><ref name="about" />

=== Dot Taylor Scholarship ===
Each year the studio awarded the '''Dot Taylor Scholarship''', named after Michael Taylor's mother. It recognised both talent and "kindness" to others. The studio also named a "Head Studio Captain", its highest title for a high school student. In 2022 both honours went to [[Luanda de Hilster]].<ref name="dot">{{cite web |url=https://luanda.dehilster.com/luanda-wins-taylor-made-scholarship-named-head-studio-captain/ |title=Luanda Wins Taylor Made Scholarship & Named Head Studio Captain |author=David de Hilster |website=luanda.dehilster.com |date=2022-05-30}}</ref>

== Warren, Pennsylvania (2023–present) ==
In 2023 the Taylors moved back to Warren County, Pennsylvania, where Morando-Taylor grew up. "We felt it was time to leave and bring our talents where they were more needed," she said. TMDT reopened in Warren that year, at first holding classes at the local YMCA.<ref name="to" /> Its current address is the second floor of 314 2nd Avenue in downtown Warren.<ref name="home" />

In its first Warren season the studio formed the '''Dance Alliance Company''', a four-dancer competition team. The team performed as "dancing ice sculptures" in a live window display at the Sugar Grove Christmas Walk, and all of its numbers placed in the top ten at competitions in Pittsburgh and Youngstown, Ohio. The studio also ran a partnering class in classic dance styles for adult couples.<ref name="to" /> Morando-Taylor's long-term plan is a permanent home with a black box theatre for student performances and community events such as open mic nights.<ref name="to" />
