Eryc Taylor Dance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eryc Taylor Dance (ETD) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, dance company based in New York City.[1] The company was founded in 2006,[2] by Eryc Taylor.[3]

Taylor had started the process to getting a master's degree in Fine Arts at New York University.[4] Instead of completing that, he started several "pickup companies" with choreographers he'd previously worked with.[5] (Pickup companies in dance are companies put together for temporary purposes or one performance only--somewhat like pickup games in sports. The concept also exists for musical groups.) He then started ETD.[6]
