Hello, my name is Sydney Carr. I was borni and raised in Rock Hill, SC. My dance career began early at the age of three. I was first exposed to gymnastics and Irish step dancing. Though I enjoyed doing both, neither gave me that thrill that i have come to know and love today. It was when I started dancing at Just Dancin' Studios that I found my passion for dance! I took Hip-Hop, Lyrical and Jazz to start off with and flourished from there. After entering middle school I found another form of dance that captivated me through winterguard. Once I made it through auditions, this sport carried me through both middle and high school, earning myself a spot as captain for my last two years in high school.
I continued my training at Winthrop University, where my passion for dance was solidified in a degree. During my time at Winthrop I was exposed to Classical Ballet and Modern, two forms that I now hold dear to my heart. I have had the pleasure of performing on many stages thanks to the faculty at Winthrop. Some stages I have had the pleasure of dancing on include the Greensboro Fringe Festival, The American College Dance Association, and The North Carolina Triad Converence. Upon graduating Winthrop with my Bachelors of Arts with a focus on dance, I then began my journey as a professional dancer.
My professiona dance carreer started off as a dancer for Mufuka Works, an Afro Russe Company based in Charlotte. I finally ended up here at Adagio where I discovered another aspect of dance that I loved; teaching your children! I love seeing our wonderful students come in and do their very best. The feeling of teaching a skill to these young performers and seeing them have a sense of pride in what they learn is irreplaceable! Adagio offers a welcoming, supportic and creative atmosphere for both teacher and dancers alike! I can't wait to see what the future holds for me here at Adagio!
