Sydnie danced with Christal Brown's INSPIRIT, a dance company (2010-2013) and continues to appear as a guest artist for Brooklyn Ballet since 2009.
As a dance educator, Sydnie's technique classes pull together orientations from the African diaspora, attention to the architecture of traditional modern dance, and the language of Laban/Bartenieff Fundamentals grounded in the use of breath, voice, and personal choices. She teaches babies (really!), K-12, undergraduates, non-dancers and professionals alike, with the motto: every body can dance! She has been an Adjunct Lecturer with the Barnard College Dance Department, and in 2012 designed the College's Dance in the City, Pre-College Program which she continues to teach.
