Overview
Mission
Stefanie Nelson Dancegroup (SND) is a contemporary performance ensemble invested in using dance for healing, empowerment and joy.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, SND continued to bring dance into the lives of people across New York City in ways that were accessible, intentional, and rooted in community. Our programming reached a wide range of participants, including individuals with disabilities, young people, and older adults, reflecting our ongoing commitment to making dance something that belongs to everyone. We presented public performances that centered inclusive casting and new choreographic work, and we continued to build relationships with social service organizations and cultural partners to expand where and how our work can live in the city.We also deepened our investment in artists by strengthening paid opportunities for teaching and performance, supporting both emerging and mid-career dancers in building sustainable pathways in the field. Across all of this work, we stayed focused on what has always been at the core of SNDusing dance as a space for connection, equity, and care, and continuing to grow our role as a company committed to inclusion in both practice and purpose.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.

- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
