Taylor Shelton has been dancing for thirteen years and brings joy, heart, and a genuine love of performance to the stage. She trained at Wilkerson Dance Studio, where she studied ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, and hip hop and performed as a member of the WDS competition squad. Her well rounded training has helped shape her into a versatile and expressive dancer, with particular strengths in musical theatre, hip hop, and jazz.



Much of Taylor’s performance experience also comes from musical theatre and show choir. She frequently participates in community theatre and loves combining movement, acting, and storytelling to create memorable characters onstage. Taylor brings that theatrical background into every Strive performance and hopes to pursue acting professionally in the future.

Taylor has been part of Strive Dance Company since its debut performance in 2024. Being part of the company is an experience her younger self would be incredibly proud of, and she is thrilled to return for her third season alongside some of her favorite people. Taylor cannot wait to get back to work and discover everything Season 3 has in store for her and the rest of the company.
