Early life
Taylor is originally from Liverpool, England.
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. The two were the managers of the studio's company, Taylor Made Dance and Theatre, LLC, which they registered in Florida on December 2, 2019, and dissolved in July 2024 after the move north.[3] 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".[4]
