Rayvin Taylor
Kennesaw
Summary
My name is Rayvin Taylor, and I am a dance instructor who strives to be versatile, passionate, and inspiring in all aspects of my teaching. I currently teach Intermediate Ballet/Tumble, and I believe that each student has the ability to learn, grow, and thrive, meaningfully, inside and outside the studio. As a teacher, my aim is to create an environment where dancers feel empowered to explore new skills, take risks, and develop a lifelong love of dancing. Within the heart of my teaching philosophy is the belief that every dancer can succeed when given the right tools, encouragement, and opportunities.
