‘I’m the blueprint of what I want to do’: Sydnye Allen in conversation with Georgia Kidd

Posted on November 2, 2026 by Sydnye Allen

Little did I know my education in dance and life would reach such a high level when I sat down at Arts & Cultural Exchange in Parramatta with Georgia Kidd, a Gundungurra woman, dancer, and choreographer who has worked and toured internationally with artists like Jordin Sparks, Shenseea, Stefflon Don, Libianca, OneFour, and Yung Milla. Kidd, 25, is also carving out a path as a visionary leader with an industry-recognised brand, The Aux. At a pivotal moment in her career, I learned a lot from chatting with her about spirituality, self-determination, and self-care.
