Holly Taylor (she/they)
Holly is a new transplant to Portland from Providence, RI by way of New York City. She loves contemporary dance styles and choreographing, especially outdoor site-specific pieces. When not at CBM, working at Trader Joe’s, or writing grants for performing arts nonprofits, Holly can be found out exploring Maine’s nature trails, or doing a jigsaw puzzle at home with their cats. Holly is thrilled to be part of CBM’s community and so grateful for how welcoming everyone has been - CBM is definitely the best part of living in Portland so far!
Keren Cohen

Hi, my name is Keren, I moved to Maine a year and a half ago and have been loving it! I’ve had an interest in dance since I was younger but only took my first dance class here at Casco Bay Movers about a year ago. I have been enjoying trying out different dance forms and have been particularly drawn to jazz and ballet. I am so grateful to be part of such an inclusive and welcoming space. I teach in the afterschool program at Breakwater, and when I’m not working or dancing, I’m usually doing art, reading graphic novels, and snuggling my cats.
Family Ballroom Workshop with Portland Maine Ballroom @ CBM


Saturdays: 3:00-4:00 pm
February 5- February 26


Family Ballroom is designed for dancers with little or no prior experience with partner dancing who are interested in getting acquainted with the art. Wedding couples find this class a good way to ease into their wedding dance. Students (ages ten and over welcome with a parent or guardian). Alex’s kids join the class very often!
