It’s easy to understand why Robert Taylor, Jr. is referred to as “The Woooooo Man.” His hooting and hollering can rival the likes of Mary Murphy, but this New Yorker isn’t messing around when it comes to his dancing. He graduated with a degree in dance from Marymount Manhattan College and has been working in the ‘biz’ ever since. His resume includes credits from television to concert dance shows, music videos, and the national tour of Hairspray. Like other New York dancers, Robert juggles multiple jobs in addition to his dance career. He’s a wedding singer, party host, and teaches dance at Broadway Dance Center. Don’t let those baggies clothes and freestyling moves fool you — this hip hop dancer loves a good old fashion dose of ballet.
