Sydnee Carroll | owner/ Artistic director

Sydnee Carroll began dancing at 3 yrs old and her passion has only grown since. In June 2023, she launched the Elevé Dance Academy program. Her vision was to build a dynamic, inclusive space in the Atlanta area where minorities could access exceptional classical and conservatory-style dance training.

Her path to success was paved at Howard University, where she honed her craft in the Theatre Arts-Dance program. Sydnee didn’t just train; she also inspired future dancers by teaching youth classes at Princess Mhoon Dance Institute, Joy of Motion Dance Centre, and Center City Public Charter Schools in Washington D.C. Her impressive resume includes intensive training with Dance Theatre of Harlem, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Alvin Ailey, and Houston Contemporary Dance Company. 

During her summers from 2017 to 2019, she leada vibrant dance camp for young children through DC Parks & Recreation, that Sydnee found her true calling. Her nurturing spirit and genuine love for working with kids transformed the camp into a truly magical experience, solidifying her passion for teaching.
