Tayla has been a vital part of our team for the last six years. With over eight years of experience in dance teaching and choreography, Tayla is a lifelong dancer. She holds qualifications in dance teaching and management and has worked across a wide range of commercial styles, including jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, and ballet.

Tayla thrives in the collaborative environment of our group, valuing the strong friendships and diverse skill sets that each member of the troupe brings.

One of Tayla’s favorite aspects of her role is building relationships with community organizations, including our partnerships with Sylph Circus and the Sunshine Coast Lightning netball team. Tayla’s dedication to fostering a supportive, creative environment continues to inspire everyone she works with.
