Performing Art – Portland

Tay Baker, originally from the Seattle area, grew up knowing that dance was exactly what she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing. Currently living in the Portland area, she recently graduated with her Bachelor's degree in Dance from Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR under the direction of Jennifer Camp. Since moving to Portland four years ago Tay has had the opportunity to work with many local and nationally recognized artists. She was a part of Pacific Dance Ensemble, Pacific University's pre-professional dance company as well as 11:Dance Co, a hip hop, contemporary neofusion dance company based in Portland. She is also a dance instructor & choreographer at dance studios in Oregon & Washington, working with children ranging from an absolute beginner level to advanced competition teams. Additionally, she currently dances with the professional company at Polaris Dance Theatre, a contemporary dance company under the direction of Robert Guitron. Tay is thrilled to be able to share her art at RAW! Photos by Brian McDonnell for Polaris Dance Theater
