A Bit About Her
Ellary Day Szyndlar, who goes by Ellary Day, has had a deep passion for dance from a young age. She is a
dedicated dancer working toward her dream of becoming a principal in a major ballet company. Driven by
both passion and purpose, Ellary Day moved to New York City in January 2026, where she now trains in a
leading professional development program.
Ellary Day fell in love with dance in her hometown near Stanford University in California. At just five years
old, her first dance teacher recognized something special and introduced her to the world of conventions and
competitions, where Ellary Day quickly earned awards and scholarships. After moving to Arizona, she
continued her training in a pre-professional ballet program and a competition company. She is grateful for
these early experiences, where she trained in multiple styles, performed frequently, and developed the ability
to quickly adapt to different choreography and artistic styles.
On stage, Ellary Day is known for her exquisite lines, strong technique, flexibility, grace, and engaging
performance quality. The stage remains her favorite place, where she feels most connected to her artistry. Off
the dance floor, she is known for her determination, poise, kindness, and commitment to growth. She is also
known to be a great dance coach to her younger sister Sylvie Win. Besides coaching Sylvie Win, Ellary Day
enjoys choreographing for her sister.
Beyond performing, Ellary Day dreams of one day becoming a leader within a major dance company, helping
shape the future of ballet. While studies show that nearly 75 to 85 percent of professional ballet dancers are
women, leadership roles are still largely held by men—about 70 percent of top companies in the United States
have male artistic directors. Ellary Day hopes to help change that. Through her commitment, creativity, and
determination, she aims to represent the millions of girls who fall in love with ballet.
On or off the dance floor, Ellary Day hopes to serve as a positive role model to younger dancers. She strives
to show that with hard work, resilience, and passion, it is possible to pursue big dreams while staying
grounded and true to oneself.

Dance Dream:
I dream of becoming a principal in a major ballet company. Later, I want to be an artistic
director or another kind of leader in a major ballet company. While studies show that more than 75 percent
of professional ballet dancers are women, leadership roles are still mainly held by men. I hope to be a part of
changing that. So many little girls fall in love with ballet. I was one of them. I hope to speak for them and
represent them someday.

Best Advice and Thoughts for Other Dancers:
“Look around some of the best dance rooms you enter for an audition or intensive. Realize that many of
these people will be dancing in companies you want to be at or may get to be at. These people will hopefully
be your colleagues. So, don’t look for competition. Look for friendship and inspiration.”
“The dance world can be hard at times. But you can be the joy. I love dance with all my heart; I try to show
that while I dance.”
“My mom and grandma call me their sunshine. I guess it is because I am almost always happy. How can’t I
be? I get to do what I love and I always look for the good in situations.”
“You are your own strength. No one else dances just like you. It would be so boring if we all danced the
same.”
“I agree with the quote that says you get what you work for not what you wish for. So, work hard. If you
really want a goal, you have to be prepared to work very, very hard.”
“At times in dance you must be so undeniable that they can’t look past you.”
