Founded by the legendary modern dance choreographer Paul Taylor in 1954, this New York-based company preserves and performs one of the most celebrated repertoires in American dance. Taylor's works — ranging from the buoyant exuberance of Esplanade to the dark complexity of Last Look — remain cornerstones of the modern canon. Since Taylor's death in 2018, the company has continued under new artistic leadership while commissioning works from contemporary choreographers to complement the founder's legacy. The Paul Taylor Dance Company stands as a living archive of one of the twentieth century's most prolific artistic voices.
