Ballet dancers fly into a perfect arabesque, tappers bounce off the floor, and silk performers drop only to be caught by their ribbons.

This week, the Telluride Dance Collective is performing its annual Mass Movement show.

“Mass Movement is an annual performance. It’s really a celebration of dance for the community, and an opportunity for people to experience dance and perform,” said Kelsey Trottier, artistic and executive director of the Telluride Dance Collective (TDC) – and a choreographer in this year’s performance.

TDC is once again partnering with Palm Arts on the production. The show features eight local choreographers, 18 adults, and around 20 local youth. There aren’t auditions for the show. Trottier said their goal is to include everyone in the celebration of movement.

“We have people who have danced professionally, and we have some people who it’s their first time performing,” she said. “That’s really the spirit of the Dance Collective. We always say we want people to find what moves them and believe that dance is for every body. It’s a fun way to create an opportunity for people to celebrate dance, and feel like they can participate in it, and have it feel accessible.”

Styles include ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, aerial silks and lyra.

Trottier said this year’s Mass Movement is looking to bring joy.

“This year we were all talking about how we could use good news, so all the choreographers selected music and created work with that in mind,” she said. “It’s definitely this umbrella where anything goes, bring people together to try and create some good news with each other.”

For Trottier, it’s about building community through the movement of any body.

“It’s beyond words in that it’s this nonverbal way of communicating and expressing,” she said. “I think that’s really beautiful that you don’t need to speak the same language to understand dance. It’s really an emotional and expressive art form and that it ties together time and space. It’s a really ethereal art form so you put it out there and you have to be in the moment to experience it.”

The community is invited to be in that moment of dance.

Mass Movement will take place at the Palm Theatre on Thursday, June 5, at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at telluridepalm.com or at the door.
