6 Fun Facts About Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Star Taylour Paige

Under the guidance of professional choreographer (and newly crowned Netflix queen) Debbie Allen, whom Taylour credits as her second mom, Taylour was exposed to the world of dance in every way imaginable. During her time at Debbie Allen's Dance Academy, she learned ballet, tap, flamenco, salsa, and jazz; she traveled the world; and she even starred in Allen's musicals. Her time at DADA essentially helped get her foot in the door to becoming a Laker Girl and her role on Hit the Floor.
