SU DanceWorks

Founded in 1986, DanceWorks is an audition-based dance organization that is fully student run.

We have over 80 active members that come from a range of diverse backgrounds, styles, and levels of dance, but each of us are brought together by our extreme passion for the art. DanceWorks allows its members to be as involved as they wish - ranging from dancing one hour a week to being on board with opportunities for leadership and performance throughout the school year. All members rehearse through the Fall and Spring semesters to prepare for our annual spring production. Two evenings of performances not only show off our dancers talents, but the hard work and creativity of our choreographers who were chosen in the Fall. Our show incorporates all styles of dance including, but not limited to, hip hop, lyrical, jazz, ballet, tap, and contemporary.

Happy from one of our freshmen, Riva Bhanushali! Riva has been dancing for 5 years, and this is her first year in DanceWorks!

“Towards the end of my senior year of high school, I was consistently getting asked, ‘Are you dancing in college?’ My answer was always no, but I was never truly confident in my answer. After dancing competitively throughout high school, I thought college would be my time to step away from the studio. But once I got to Syracuse, I quickly realized that I missed having an outlet that challenged me, surrounded me with friends that had shared experiences, and gave me a sense of community. That’s what drew me to DanceWorks. I wanted to continue growing as a dancer while finding a community that would make Syracuse feel more like home. Joining DanceWorks felt like a way to keep a huge part of my life while allowing myself to experience dance in a completely new way. At first I had doubts about trying out. I was intimidated to start dancing again after being out of the studio for a couple of months. I finally decided to try out because I really just missed being in a studio. I quickly realized that if you put yourself out there, there are so many ways to get involved in DW. So just try out—you won’t regret it!”🌟🌟

Happy from one of our Freshman, Nina Rader! Nina has been dancing for 14 years and this is her first year in DanceWorks🤍

“From the second I found the Instagram before coming to campus, DanceWorks seemed like so much more than just a group of dancers on campus; it seemed like a family. I was so worried that after high school I would stop dancing, but after feeling so welcomed during my first workshop, I knew I wanted to be a part of DanceWorks. It was so refreshing to be surrounded by people who were so fun, energetic, and loved dance as much as I do. I have already met the most amazing people, and even though it’s only my first year, DanceWorks is already my favorite org🥹. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, especially at workshops! Talk to anyone and everyone, and just be yourself!” 🌟🌟

Happy from one of our Freshman, Riki Chung! Riki has been dancing for 17 years and this is her 1st year in DanceWorks🤍

“DanceWorks was the first organization I have heard of coming into Syracuse University, therefore, it was the first one I planned to join before I even moved in. I’ve danced my whole life and hold a strong passion for it, so I wanted to be surrounded by others who felt the same. Now that I am a part of this community, I am excited for what we can cultivate! Despite it being my first year in DanceWorks, my advice to prospective members would be to just go for it. It’s so cliche, but there was a point where I felt doubt within myself and was about to drop my plans of auditioning for DW. However, you never know what could happen, so as long as you put your best foot forward, things will fall into place for you.” 🩵🩵🩵
