Modern Jazz
modern dance swinging with the energy of jazz

The elegant mover and passionate pedagogue Bruce Taylor, long ago educated at Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, about his dance style today: "My style, mixing modern dance with the swing, emotion and energy of jazz, rendering the movement honest, direct and clear. With other words: the entire body is used. The loose and souple energy carries forth another quality of dance. I am letting jazz dance evolve without aesthetical limits.”


Bruce Taylor
His jazz dance style is majorly influenced by his studies with Alvin McDuffie, Majorie Mussman and Peter Goss. Bruce Taylor has been dancing with Elisa Monte Dance Company, Agnes DeMille Heritage Dance Theatre and others and is now heading his own company "Choréonyx” in Paris.
