About Paul Taylor Dance Company

The Paul Taylor Dance Company is one of the world’s leading dance organizations, based in New York City and with vast international reach. Under the artistic direction of Michael Novak, together with world-class dancers, choreographers, educators, and creatives, the Company continues to innovate and transform the landscape of 21st-century dance performance and education. The Taylor Company was founded in 1954 by cultural icon Paul Taylor (1930-2018), one of America’s most celebrated artists, who molded it into one of the pre-eminent performing ensembles in the world, driven by a belief that dance can convey complex truths about the human experience.

The hallmark of the Company is its iconic, ever-expanding repertory. Of the 170 dances that exist within the canon (147 choreographed by Paul Taylor), many are hailed as some of the greatest dances of the 20th and 21st centuries. While celebrating these masterworks of the past, the Company simultaneously invests heavily in the future of the art form, appointing Lauren Lovette in 2022 as the Company’s first Resident Choreographer. Ms. Lovette, along with other diverse contemporary voices, is generating a collection of new works that expand conversations about what modern dance is and what it can become. The Company hosts its annual season at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts with its partner, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, bringing the finest repertory to audiences on a scale rare for the artform.

Dedicated to sharing dance and education with the broadest possible audience, the Taylor Company sustains a global presence through its robust touring programs, both domestically and internationally. Since its first European tour in 1960, the Company has performed in more than 600 cities in 66 countries, representing the United States at arts festivals and touring extensively under the aegis of the U.S. Department of State.
