Synergy Dance Series is a dance initiative conceived by Rowan Salem and Teresa VanDenend Sorge to strengthen the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky-area dance community through shared performance, audience feedback, workshops, classes, and shared mentorship. Synergy Dance Series produces emerging and established choreographers from diverse backgrounds and dance genres. Choreographers are provided with opportunities to present work in informal and formal performance spaces while engaging with audiences through feedback cards and talkbacks. The series further supports artists through open dancer auditions and pre- and post-concert workshops, fostering collaboration and meaningful connection among regional dance artists. Synergy Dance Series has been operating as a project since 2023 and gained 501(c)(3) status in 2026.
