So...I've been blogging here on Off Center since the summer of 2007. Yes, I've taken time off. Yes, I've had some slow times (ahem, lately...). But I really feel like the blog has been a big part of my dancing life over the years.You've been with me through beginnings, Nutcrackers, graduations, summer intensives, performance reviews, rats and realities, bear heads and Santa beards, the best time of my life, and the worst. Even people from The New York Times and Vanity Fair have been supportive. I am forever grateful for the amazing people I've met through the blog, the opportunities that have come up, and the kind words I've heard in response to my experiences.
But now I need YOUR help...

Hi Taylor,
We want to see you back on stage at Radio City next Christmas so take care and keep up the hard work! Thanks for blogging about all of your experiences.
LOVE your blog, Taylor!!! I've been reading it... for a while. (I'm kind of the silent observer in the background, and was thrilled when recently you started posting again with the lovely new format!) Finding your blog awhile back helped me through the time when I was yearning to actually dance. Now I'm studying Ballet in NYC and loving every minute of it - who knew?!
Keep writing and keep dancing... and Best of luck and very Merry Christmas to you!
