DANCE WITH US
Portland Dance Collective is a member-operated non-profit. Currently involvement is participation for the love of dancing together. The budget does not allow for member payment *yet* but we're working on that. In the mean time, you get to dance for free twice a week and be part of a creative container with performance and choreography opportunities with really cool people focused on the joy of movement <3

Here’s some possibly hepful FAQ to give you an idea of what to expect…
What style of dancing is this?
The best description I have is contemporary dance but we are very open to meeting dancers with varying backgrounds. Our warmup is generally a shortened Luigi class and our dancers have mixed modern and ballet backgrounds.
What should I wear?
Whatever you are most comfortable in. No need to get too fancy, just set yourself up for success and feel good in your skin. Socks, barefoot, or clean indoor dance shoes are welcome.
How much dance experience are you looking for?
I would recommend folks come with at least a year’s formal dance training of some kind. Very little dance experience but a willingness to play and learn could work out great. Years of experience is also great.
What are you looking for in a dancer for the collective?
Good energy and playfulness. A decent sense of body awareness and a passion for movement. If you have experience or a desire to play with choreography and help run the collective, also great!
