Sydney L

Sydney was never the first person to be picked for sports teams—nor did she want to be! She grew up in the dance studio, but retired her dance shoes when she went off to college, where she studied journalism and leadership studies. It was during college that Sydney rediscovered her love for the ballet technique in barre classes.

Barre helped Sydney redevelop her strength and flexibility all while harnessing a love and passion for group fitness.


Being a part of someone’s special moment when they realize that their body and mind can be equally as strong is such a gift.

In August 2022 she fell in love with City Barre. Loving the new technique and sparkly vibes of the studio, she started teaching here in November 2022.

Sydney is also a lover of the side hustle. Aside from teaching barre, she keeps busy with her 9-5 as a business journalist with Fortune magazine, freelancing for local publications, working at a local dog park, and walking dogs. When she’s not doing one of her many jobs she’s probably snuggling with her golden retriever, Lulu, or grabbing her favorite brew from local Scott’s Addition spots.
