Introducing Taron

Taron was born in Brisbane, Australia and started dancing at the age of 5. He first began his training under his mother, Nicole Marshman Geyl (former Australian Ballet Company Artist). 

He began his training with the Queensland Ballet Academy in their Junior Associate Program before joining the Senior Program in 2019. After graduating from the Senior program in 2021, he joined Queensland Ballet’s Pre-Professional Program in 2022. Taron completed one year of Pre-Professional Program before being offered a position as a Young Artist in 2023. He was asked back to repeat the Young Artist Program in 2024.

Taron finds inspiration in his parents (both founders of 5th Element Dance and 5th Element Martial Arts). Key influences in his dance journey are Paul Boyd, Christian Tàtchev, and Louise Deleur.

What advice do you have for aspiring dancers?

"Steven McRae once said, 'Dance is whatever you want it to be'. For me, dance represents POWER, STRENGTH, ELEGANCE, DISCIPLINE, ARTISTRY, PASSION, COURAGE and ATHLETICISM."
