Where It All Started
Just as Rome wasn't built in one day, neither was Sydney Sewell.
Over 20 years ago Sydney's love affair with dance began. The love developed into an immenense amount of talent and success that could've only been achieved through her tremendous work ethic, dedication, and willingness to learn and grow in her art.
Sydney has mastered the art of dance through ballet, hip hop, jazz, contemporary, modern, lyrical, and interpretive dance. Taking it a step further, she has expanded her artistry to include dance choreography, passing on her skills to others through dance, and dabbling in other portions of her creative endeavors.
In the last few years, Sydney has used her time as a dancer to transition into other lanes in her creative pursuit. On numerous occassions, Sydney has been tapped on the shoulder to collaborate with 1510 as a model, perform at nonprofit galas, dancing alongside recording artists Jac Ross at Lollapalooza, asked to step in as a dance instructor for young dancers, and lead in various capacities.
From her start in dance through dance companies, her time at Jeoffrey Ballet, dancing through out high school, being a member of Nu'ance dance team in college, and now embarking on a professional, it's no secret that Sydney is destined for greatness.
