The Taylor School is the premier training ground for modern dance technique in the Taylor style. The Taylor Master Class Series, offered only a few times a year, provides an ideal setting for a more in-depth study of Taylor style and repertory. Taught by distinguished Taylor dancers, this series of two-hour workshops, from 10am to 12pm, encourages students to expand their technical and stylistic levels of proficiency, while exploring their individual voices as performing artists.

SEAN MAHONEY, born and raised in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, began his life in dance at age 12 by attending Princeton Ballet School on scholarship; that year he also started training with Fred Knecht. In 1991 he began as an apprentice at American Repertory Ballet (ARB) and became a featured dancer with the company, which he rejoined in 2000 under the direction of Graham Lustig. Mr. Mahoney was chosen as one of the first members of the Paul Taylor 2 Dance Company in 1993 just after completing high school. He has danced for David Parsons, Alex Tressor and Geoffrey Doig-Marx, and performed in Radio City’sChristmas Spectacular. He rejoined Taylor 2 in 2002. Mr. Mahoney is the son of a construction worker who provided him with the skills he uses to assist with set construction for the Company. As a musician, he accompanies classes at The Taylor School and is a member of the band Heroes Die.  He made his debut with the Paul Taylor Dance Company in January 2004.
