what is theSYNDICATE?

the SYNDICATE is a student-founded and organized dance group at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. the SYNDICATE was started in the Spring of 2004 by a core group of individuals committed to the formation of a hip-hop dance team that, while opting out of the formality of a complete dance company, nonetheless preserved the attitude and urban energy found in the art form known as hip-hop. William and Mary, while an excellent academic institution, has always seemed to lack a hip-hop dance team that is often found at other Colleges, which of course has been changed with the arrival of the SYNDICATE. The group has been gaining membership, popularity and notoriety at a breakneck speed ever since.

the SYNDICATE is a name formed from the acronym SNDCT, which originally stood for Student Network of Dance and Choreography Technique.
