One of the best decisions I made regarding my daughter was to enroll her into Tayo Reed's PAC.

I had many questions and she was understanding. We went from attending summer's only to my daughter becoming a member of the Perfoming Company. I trusted Ms. Tayo and her staff with the development and growth of my daughter as a dancer and a confident young lady. Ms. Tayo had always been approachable and has a big heart for the kids. She's very passionate about the arts and she will push your child to be their best. Over the years I have seen the staff change and maybe even some procedures. But the commitment to helping children be their best has remained a constant priority at Tayo Reed's PAC.

My daughter has been a part of the Tayo Reed family for at least 6 years and has grown…read moreexponentially in a number of ways. In terms of dance, her technique in modern, ballet, lyrical, and contemporary (her favorite genres) have drastically improved throughout the years. She was invited to attend a well-known performing arts high school in Atlanta and has continued her studies with Ms. Tayo while completing her first college degree. Ms. Tayo also helped my daughter boost her confidence level in terms of performing as well as in her personal and academic endeavors. Ms. Tayo has always made myself and my daughter feel like family, so much so that as a college student she and some of Ms. Tayo's former students who are now adults continue to frequent the school to assist Ms. Tayo with the younger students. The friendships she gained while participating in Ms. Tayo's program are unbreakable and it is a joy to see the students maintaining their relationship in their blossoming adult lives. My daughter has traveled with Ms. Tayo in dance competitions and a variety of other shows and had the pleasure of earning her first paycheck as a dancer when she assisted Ms. Tayo and her very talented band. It is unfortunate that the parent in a prior review had such a negative experience with Ms. Tayo's program. She works very hard to offer students on the southside of Atlanta opportunities to strengthen their performing arts skills that would otherwise not be afforded to them. She also works very hard to ensure that low to middle-income families are able to obtain good quality afterschool childcare and exposure to the performing arts at an EXTREMELY reasonable price. I will continue to support her in all of her future endeavors.
