Hello!
My name is Taylor Sambola or a a lot of people call me taytayballet! I am hoping my blog provides tips, inspiration, and fun!
I am currently in my home town New Orleans, Louisiana! The pandemic has brought me back home for a bit and it has changed my life for the better! The last time I was home this long was 12 years ago! I am currently dancing with my home studio company, New Orleans Ballet Theater! I am also working as a Pilates instructor with Romney Studios!
