Michael Taylor is an American educator who co-owns Taylor Made Dance & Theatre with his wife, the choreographer Angela Morando-Taylor. At the studio he teaches film, Shakespeare, creative writing and acting, and serves as academic advisor to students preparing for college.[1]

Career

Taylor is an experienced teacher in both secondary and college classrooms.[2] He and Morando-Taylor ran Taylor Made Dance & Theatre in Boca Raton, Florida, until 2023. That year the family moved to Warren County, Pennsylvania, where he teaches at Eisenhower, and the studio reopened in Warren.[2]

The studio's annual Dot Taylor Scholarship, named after Taylor's mother, honours a student for talent and for "kindness" to others. According to a student's family, the award was "very near and dear to the hearts of the Taylor Made Studio's owners, Angela and Michael Taylor".[3]
