About T.F. Dance Company

T.F. Dance Company is an artistic collective based in the city of São Paulo since 2002. Comprising professional dancers from diverse training and stylistic backgrounds, the company actively articulates dance within urban spaces. The group investigates "Contemporary Urban Dance," a practice framed as a way to exercise contemporary thinking through hip hop culture. This investigation focuses on developing signature choreography, guided by a research path exploring sensory stimuli rooted in each performer's individuality and physical states constructed through the body-city relationship. The group originally began in 2002 as T.F.Style under the direction of Igor Gasparini. In 2007, with Frank Tavanti joining as artistic director, T.F.Style Dance Company emerged, distinguishing itself as one of the pioneer collectives in the research of Contemporary Urban Dance. In 2022, celebrating the collective's 20th anniversary, the name was streamlined to simply T.F. Dance Company. The company has been awarded the prestigious São Paulo Municipal Dance Grant (Fomento à Dança) for its 20th, 24th, 28th, 32nd, and 37th editions (2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024), as well as the State PROAC Tour Grant for Dance Performances (2016, 2020, and 2022). It won the APCA Award for Best Dance Premiere in 2019 with ELO; was nominated for the APCA Award for Choreography | Creation in 2024 with TRACE; and received the Denilto Gomes Dance Award for "Best Ensemble" for Gray Zone in 2022, and for "Dance Creation Modes" for TRACE in 2024.
