Taylor Gerard is a professional fusion bellydance choreographer, instructor, and performer, whose unique ability to convey a range of emotions through technical expertise sets her apart.   Her creative and fluid style of dance incorporates elements of Turkish, Indian, Latin, tribal, and jazz, all solidly grounded in Egyptian cabaret technique and keeps audiences delightfully surprised and mesmerized. 

She has performed around the United States, including New York, L.A., and Atlanta, and performs regularly at many top bellydance venues such as Imperial Fez, Persepolis Cuisine, Café Istanbul, Veranda Taverna, and Taverna Plaka.  She has also performed with other choreographers, in a variety of dance disciplines, including Mezmera, Bubba Carr, and Aziza of Montreal/Portland and for celebrities Da Brat, Dallas Austin, and Sean "P Diddy" Combs. She also performs in Aqua Sirens underwater productions.

Originally from New York, Taylor comes from a dance background of jazz and hip hop.  She was introduced to the world of bellydance after moving to Atlanta in 2001, and has been pursuing her career in this ancient art form ever since. Taylor's commitment to bellydance is demonstrated through her many classes and workshops from beginner through professional levels.  She is the founder and artistic director of Tempest Dance Company and is the bellydance instructor for Dance 101, one of the largest dance studios in the Southeast.  Her first instructional bellydance DVD will be released in Spring of 2010.
