  • CLOEY TAYLOR

    Cloey grew up dancing all genres, but has always been a believer that ballet is the foundation for all other dance styles. She had the privilege of auditioning and performing for Mary Murphy (SYTYCD) in a local dance competition, and she has worked with the Eugene Ballet Company several times in their production of The Nutcracker. In her teen years, Cloey was cast as Louise in Roger and Hammerstein’s musical carousel as part of the 5Th Ave Theatre’s Rising Star Project. She also went on to act in and choreograph several musical theatre productions, winning awards for her work.
