What Parents Are Saying

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!

This is the season for them. 

New friends. Big feelings. A little bit of magic.
 

Dance class has a way of bringing kids out of their shell — quietly, joyfully, at their own pace.
 

"She was so shy at first. By week three she was encouraging others."

Five things you won't find at a traditional dance studio.


01 A class where your child's ideas actually change what happens
Most studios hand kids a routine and ask them to copy it. Here, your child helps build the choreography from scratch. 

02 Two ways to explore — pick one or both
Ballet & tap is one class. Hip hop is another. Families can enroll in one or both — so your child gets exactly the style that lights them up, taught the same creative way.

03 No "you did it wrong"
There's no one right way to move here. Every child's interpretation is valid. 

04 A showcase that actually feels good
Starting this fall, every session ends with an in-class showcase — a low-key, joyful moment where kids share what they created. No pressure. No big stage. Just proud kids showing their people what they made.

05 A kid who comes home with something to say
When kids create something instead of copying it, they own it. They leave with a story, not just a skill. 

Meet Ms. Taylor

Hi, I'm Taylor — and this program was born from a simple belief: that kids deserve a dance class built around who they actually are.
 

I've been dancing since I was three years old, and I spent years figuring out how to teach it in a way that works for little ones — not just technically, but emotionally. How do you make a four-year-old feel brave? How do you keep a six-year-old engaged and genuinely excited to come back?
 

That's what Young Innovators Collective is my answer to.
 

Every class I teach is built around your child's imagination. I'm just here to hold the space — and make sure every kid in that room feels like they belong there.

Classes Held at 5111 Santa Fe St.

Our classes are hosted at Drip Creative Studio, a beautiful studio space we rent.
 
Families can enjoy a family friendly studio environment, comfortable waiting areas, and plenty of easy nearby parking.


We are located at 5111 Santa Fe St suite DEF, San Diego, CA 92109

Low commitment, packed with fun.

One class a week, no recitals, no pressure to be serious. Just music, movement, and a really good hour that's all theirs.
 

Want to try it first?
We have two trial classes this summer — August 1st and August 8th — before the season kicks off. A great way to see if it's a fit before committing to anything.
