Sydney Gillespie

Hello! My name is Sydney! I danced with Encore for 9 years, while also assisting and helping around the studio for several years. I am now happy to be back in the studio helping at the front desk!

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, exploring new places, and staying active. 

Although I’ve been away from the Encore family for a few years while I attended school, dance has remained a huge part of my life and I am excited to bring the love back into the studio! My favourite part of the encore community is how supportive and inclusive the environment is and how once you are apart of the family, you will be welcomed back with open arms. It’s one big family!
