At The Young Innovators Collective, children don’t just take classes — they make the classes their own.

Across dance, theater, and film, kids help choreograph, perform, direct, and create, building confidence, collaboration, and creativity along the way.

Not sure which class feels right for your child?

Dance (Ballet + Tap)
Your child moves to the music, tries new steps, and creates their own routine, beaming on a mini stage. Classes build confidence, coordination, and rhythm in a playful, hands-on way.

 

Theater
Your child steps into a story they create—writing, acting, and directing their own scenes. They gain confidence, collaboration skills, and the joy of bringing imagination to life.

 

Film & Media
Your child plans a scene, records lines, and edits short films or podcasts—perfect for kids who dream of being the next big YouTuber or storyteller. They turn ideas into real projects while learning storytelling and technical skills.

What families say:

​Miss Taylor’s class was our first introduction to dance and my two girls loved every second of it!

They learned so much more than just ballet technique, they about rhythm, music and most of all, they learned to LOVE dance!

Miss Taylor is sweet and gentle and an absolute role model to the littles. Wish we could take all her classes!

Meet Our Founder

My name is Taylor and I will be the instructor for this session's theater class. I am excited to bring my love and passion for thee arts to the next generation of budding artists.
 

 

I started dancing at the age of 3, and trained pre- professionally until college. I hold a Bachelor's degree Early Childhood Education as well as a Bachelor's degree in Dance. My Master's degree is in Mental Health Therapy in Schools which has inspired me to add mindfulness and social emotional components to my classes.
 

 

I believe that learning should be done in a pressure free environment (packed with fun and moments of silliness).
