Taylor Hatala has been on Ellen, danced on Janet Jackson鈥檚 tour and has scored millions of hits on YouTube.

The 13-year-old is coming to the Central Okanagan in July to share her dancing insight.

鈥淚 have been a dancer now for 10 years, although I鈥檓 still a child I feel like I鈥檝e gotten a student experience with choreography and I wanted to branch out with what I can do and how I can share that with other people,鈥� she said.

Hatala has taught in Los Angeles, in Edmonton and will be spending time in 91大黄鸭, saying she visited for a dance competition in the past and enjoyed the people and the vibe of the city.

The camp runs for ages 8 to 14+. Being 13, Hatala said it was intimidating teaching older students, but she鈥檚 up for the challenge.

鈥淔or me an experience like this (with students) who are much older than me in my class, it will push me to be the best that I can be as a teacher, as a choreographer and an artist in these classes. It鈥檚 pushing me and helping me grow,鈥� she said.

She balances her time in L.A., Edmonton and recently in New York for The Shorty Awards, a social media based award show.

Hatala is currently in her hometown of Edmonton finishing her school year with her classmates but her schedule varies from month to month.

鈥淚鈥檓 very busy but I鈥檓 very grateful for all of it,鈥� she said.

She enjoys teaching, giving the students everything she can in order for them to felt inspired. Hatala likes seeing the improvements the students make even in an hour-long class.

鈥淚 love to dance because it鈥檚 limitless and I feel like with my choreography you can experience that and recognize there鈥檚 no limit and I can take my classes wherever I want to,鈥� she said.

Hatala related dancing and workshops to being like a family and she advises young dancers to believe in themselves, to be confident but also take constructive criticism and be yourself.

鈥淚鈥檓 blessed because I get to share my craft with these people and this community that loves the same thing I do and we can celebrate it together.鈥�

Hatala鈥檚 mother Teresa said from a parent鈥檚 perspective, Hatala has given up a lot including time and effort.

Her parents encourage her to reach for her dreams and be creative.

鈥淚t takes a lot of hard work and maybe being in the right place and the right time,鈥� said Teresa.

Hatala looks up to her first mentor Canadian dancer/choreographer Alexander Chung, but as a young girl she looks up to choreographer/dancer/actor Janelle Ginestra.

鈥�(Ginestra) for me she鈥檚 empowering and encouraging and everything I want to be鈥� she鈥檚 just a genius at what she does. She鈥檚 one of the most amazing human beings I鈥檝e ever met.鈥�

In the future, Hatala wants to pursue different avenues, being known as 鈥淭aylor Hatala the entertainer,鈥� rather than just a dancer.
