Overview
Tracie Stanfield is an award-winning choreographer, educator, creative consultant, and the founder and Artistic Director of SynthesisDANCE in New York City. Her work has been commissioned throughout the US, Canada, Japan, and Latin America.
Her signature voice as a choreographer has helped create and define contemporary lyrical movement in concert and commercial dance. Dance Magazine calls her classes "inspiring'” and the Huffington Post UK says Tracie "thrilled and mesmerized with her masterful fusion of contemporary and classical dance forms.” Tracie’s master classes for professional and pre-professional dancers are accessible yet rigorous.
Classes prepare young dancers for the professional world, and reinforce the practice of active professionals, emphasizing expression, technique, strength, and versatility. Tracie’s goal is to “get the dancer ready for any challenge or opportunity.”
Tracie’s choreography has been presented at Symphony Space, Jazz at Lincoln Center, BAM Fisher, The Duke Theatre, Brooklyn Museum, Rose Nagelberg Theatre, Dixon Place and Untermyer Park in Yonkers. Commissions include The Grier Gala, Caseology Watches, Verismo Opera Company, Tapestry Dance Company, NYC Choreographers’ Ball, Brooklyn Dance Festival Company, Flux Dance Company, and Mesa State University. SynthesisDANCE;s tour through Alaska was funded in part by the NEA and WestAF.
The company’s MidWest tour was sponsored by our sister company Flux Dance in Sioux City.
