At the heart of SynthesisDANCE’s mission lies education and empowerment. Through our Groundwork NYC Dance Intensives and educational initiatives, co-directors Tracie Stanfield and Eric Campros nurture the creativity, discipline, and potential of emerging artists. Our Groundwork programs are built on a foundation of creation, storytelling, and performance workshops, where dancers are encouraged to listen to their inner voice, refine their technique, while moving with confidence, community, and purpose. We believe deeply in the transformative power of art and movement.
The skills cultivated in the studio extend far beyond the stage. At Groundwork, we emphasize process as the pathway to performance and value the journey of becoming an artist as much as the artistry itself. Alongside our professional company work, we collaborate with pre-professional dancers to hone their craft both in the studio and in live performance. By producing both professional and pre-professional performances, we provide young dancers with the tools and opportunities to step into their artistry, while offering our professionals meaningful avenues to connect, mentor, and inspire the next generation.
