Pipeline Dance Training

New York City’s premiere dance trainee program curated by Emily Bufferd and Tracie Stanfield

We are more than a training program — we are a launchpad for the next generation of dance artists, built on the values of integrity, mentorship, and artistic discovery.

Pipeline Dance Training was founded as a forward-thinking, professional-track program for serious dancers seeking to elevate their technique, artistry, and career readiness. Grounded in integrity, mentorship, and excellence, Pipeline offers the tools and guidance necessary for young artists to step into the professional world with confidence and clarity.

Directors Emily Bufferd and Tracie Stanfield have created an elevated dance experience to nurture, guide and produce fully realized dance artists. With directed focus and intention,

Pipeline IS movement in, and with, a clear direction.

Born from the values of integrity, education and mentorship/exploration, Directors Emily Bufferd and Tracie Stanfield created Pipeline as a platform for dance artists to hone their craft of physical communication and performance while unfolding into their highest potential. Upon completion of Pipeline, dancers will be well-versed in proficiency, style, and professionalism; supported and ready to embody their next level of Artistic achievement.

During our one year NYC based training program, dancers (ages 18 and up) study five days per week, five hours each day. Our fall semester begins September 15, 2025 at 244 West 54th street in NYC. This curated program includes daily technique classes, stylized and artistry based workshops, industry specific seminars, choreography / repertory rehearsals and mentored development sessions. A well-rounded experience awaits a dancer.
