Eryc Taylor Dance (est. 2006) is a New York City based nonprofit dance company pushing the boundaries of movement in performance and healing. The Company focuses on spreading the appreciation of dance through creating and presenting original performances, conducting master classes, giving annual grants to aspiring New York choreographers (New Choreographer Grant). Thanks to sponsorship from MAC Cosmetics, Google Nonprofits, Amazon, Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft, Joyce, and more, the Company has been able to produce performances at venues such as the Joyce SoHo, Ailey Citigroup Theater, and Martha Graham Studio Theater, Teatro Armando Manzanero, and Teatro Jose Peon Contreras. Artistic Director, Eryc Taylor, is driven through collaboration resulting in projects with artists such as Scooter LaForge, Lois Greenfield, Rachel Neville, and Gerald Busby. In 2013, Eryc Taylor founded a new residency program between ETD and the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. Once a week, residents of PCMH's supportive housing sites would participate in a movement workshop led by Eryc Taylor and principal dancer, Danielle Schulz. Due to the success of the program, Taylor decided to form ETD Outreach, a division of the Company focused on utilizing dance and movement as a healing modality. Since it's founding, ETD Outreach has increased to providing 21 workshops a week to eight different NYC supportive housing organizations and hospitals including NYU Langone, PCMH, Lantern, Acacia Network, Services of the Underserved, and Hour Children.
