Taylor Jones
Studio Owner and Pom & Hip Hop Teams Coach
I’ve competed in national competitions in the USA and UK in jazz, lyrical, American tap, hip hop and pom! In high school (ages 14 and 15) I was accepted onto the school’s pom squad, where we cheered for American football and basketball games and performed jazz, pom and kick routines at halftime. I’ve also performed in musical theatre productions, such as CATS (Demeter).
I hold a BSc in Dance Management, a dual degree in dance studio ownership and business management! During my undergraduate studies, I joined the Spirit of Grace Liturgical Dance team, which specialised in spoken word/a Capela and lyrical/contemporary dance. In 2021, I pursued my MSc in Business Management at the University of South Wales, where I was accepted onto the Coyotes Dance Team for their competitive pom, lyrical and hip hop teams.
I also hold a Level 3 qualification in Personal Training and am a certified Nutrition Coach! These qualifications have aided me in providing top-quality dance coaching by giving me the knowledge of building strength and flexibility for dancers to perform in their peak condition!
