Telemark Dance Troupe

Telemark Dance Troupe has been an active group of performing dancers for over 15 years. Telemark was originally formed from within the UC Davis Ballroom Dance Club and has since become its own group, changing its official name in 1999. Each year Telemark members work with student and professional choreographers on over a dozen ballroom routines in anticipation of our annual spring showcase! As a nonprofit organization, Telemark members contribute quarterly dues to help offset theater rental costs, thus allowing this student run group to survive and thrive! Most Telemark members spend anywhere from five to fifteen hours a week practicing for this performance and are extremely dedicated and passionate about social dance. This year's showcase combines many forms of ballroom dance such as swing, salsa, tango, waltz, fox trot, and quick step, as well as lyrical and more modern dance pieces. With over twenty active members ranging from beginning dancers to those at a competitive level, Telemark Dance Troupe is an eclectic group of individuals who share a sincere love of dance. We encourage all UCD students and faculty, as well as Davis community members, to attend our showcase and help support our wonderful group of dancers!

This year our showcase will be in May 2010. No dances are set, and membership is open for fall. For more information on joining or any other questions, contact our administrators Amy and Michele at TelemarkAD@gmail.com

No experience or partner is required, however it is always welcome.

I've seen a couple of Telemark's showcase performances, as I've had friends in the troupe, and they are always very well done. I'm not a huge fan of dance, but I've always been well entertained. -AlexPomeranz
