At Rysing Star, we are an all-inclusive dance studio devoted to providing kids' dance classes of all skill levels with an encouraging environment.  We deliver high quality dance education, while nurturing each student in a way that best suits their individual needs; including a special needs dance program. Our motto is quality over quantity and I will always strive to maintain that. Our goal is to give each individual dancer the tools they need to take dance as far as they dream to take it. At RSDA, we teach beyond dance skills. We help each student develop lifelong skills that will help create well-rounded individuals that make a difference in this world.  It is clear that the discipline, focus, and artistic enlightenment of dance creates success in all aspects of life.

My name is Taylor Rys, and I am the owner/artistic director at Rysing Star Dance Academy. I have built RSDA from the ground up, opening the summer of 2020.  I am so proud and happy to share my passion and love for dance with you and your family. I am enrolled in several curriculum- based programs to continue my education, and ensure I am always evolving to provide your children with the highest quality of dance education. I try to maintain open communication with my dance families, discuss your child's dance journey, and assist you in choosing what is best for you and your family.

Our Star Staff is very versatile and experienced in many genres. Our teachers stand out from others because they come with all different backgrounds, experience, and a variety of degrees that make a great team! They undergo quarterly training and follow the curriculums that they will become certified in. When hiring, I  look at more than skills, and deeper into who they are as a person and a teacher. Each instructor brings something to the table at RSDA, and helps provide your children with a plethora of opportunities. Above all else, we have an incredible star staff filled with teachers who care.

About The Owner

It Is Important To Know Who You Are Entrusting With Your Children:

My dance career started almost 30 years ago. I grew up in the entertainment and talent industries- singing, dancing, cheering, playing piano, modeling, and pageants.

My dance career started almost 30 years ago. I grew up in the entertainment and talent industries- singing, dancing, cheering, playing piano, modeling, and pageants. 


I have been teaching and choreographing for over a decade. I have won several golden tickets to worlds events, choreography awards, and my students have taken home titles, regional, and national top placements.


As an adult, I have competed for several years at Dancing with the Ohio Valley Stars, where I have taken home a 3rd place win, 2nd place win, people's choice, and was the season 10 DWTOVS Winner in 2021. I have judged several talent shows and pageants, and have been an assistant cheer coach in the area. I continue to take classes and attend dance conventions all over the US and Australia to expand my dance education and stay up to date with modern trends. 


Through the daytime, I work as a behavior therapist and occupational therapy assistant, specializing in children with autism. I think the combination of my dance/teaching experience combined with my degree really helps to propel my classes to the next level. 


I am CPR & First Aid Certified, Seizure trained, Med Certified, COTA/L, RBT
