A note from the director
Hello!
My name is Angela Morando-Taylor. I am a dance and performance educator with over 26 years in education and performance under my belt! For the last 20 years I have been the dance director and coordinator for West Boca’s Performing Arts High School, Boca Raton High School’s Drama Program and Palm Beach Central's Drama program as well. I believe in a solid education not only in the arts but academically as well. Knowledge is power!
I started my journey 34 years ago in a small town called Sugar Grove Pennsylvania. I was 7 at the time and wanted to be like my older cousin, so I started taking class at Linda Dies Dance Unlimited In Warren, PA. Little did my parents know that it would be the start of my life’s work.
My path has been a tricky one, Diagnosed at 16 with fibromyalgia, I had to learn to dance with a lot of pain, fatigue and frustration. Five years later while at Coker College, on scholarship, I would have two broken feet, collapsed arches and a broken heart. It was at this point I was told I would never dance again. This was all due to poor flooring and a weakened body. Seems tragic but this is how my story starts and where my ethos about education in the arts began. After many months of PT, I was told I had five years tops if I wanted to continue to dance. I made it 11 years before I retired. I was smart enough at the time to know that my feet would never withstand the demand a concert dancer requires, so I decided to go into professional theatre. This is what makes my background a little different, I am educated in dance as well as theatre.
I am sharing my story with you because it helps support how I have come to this point, why I have become such an advocate for proper flooring, self care and true teaching, not demonstrating! I have learned the in’s and out’s of crushing disappointments, perseverance and empathy through my journey and use it every day in my teachings. I would not be the person or teacher I am today with out it.
I believe every student that I come in contact with deserves the best of me, whether they want to go on to being professional or just love the arts and want to learn the craft for their high school career. They are all amazing!
