Taylor Stanley visits The Rock School


Former student Taylor Stanley and Rock West Principal Teacher Jennifer Wheat, embrace during a visit to The Rock School during the summer intensive program.



Taylor Stanley has been dancing with The Rock School since the age of three when he began in his hometown of West Chester at Rock West. Stanley joined Rock Center when he enrolled as a Rock Academic Program Alliance (RAPA) student in 2007.


Stanley is now 19 and still working hard as a dancer. In 2008, Stanley was awarded a Merit Scholarship to attend the School of American Ballet where he only studied a year before becoming an apprentice at New York City Ballet in the fall of 2009. We were delighted to have him back in The Rock School’s studios, and are proud to announce that Stanley recently received a contract and will be dancing in the corps de ballet of NYCB.
