Siudy Garrido is a distinguished artist known for her work as an artistic director, choreographer, and bailaora. She is a second-generation flamenco artist, deeply inspired by her mother, Siudy Quintero, a flamenco artist with a 60-year career who was awarded a medal of honor by the King and Government of Spain with "Laso de Dama, Orden al Merito Civil" for expanding the art form in Venezuela. Garrido has inherited this legacy and emerged as a leading figure in Hispanic dance in Latin America.

In 2000, Garrido founded her own company, creating six original productions that showcase her ability to craft compelling narratives through flamenco. Each work reflects her unique vision from Caminos Flamencos (2000-2003) to Bailaora (2021-present).

Garrido's dance journey began at age six under her mother's guidance. She debuted as a choreographer with an honorable mention at the Municipal Dance Award in Venezuela in 2006. Her work gained recognition on Broadway, earning a Drama Desk Award nomination in 2011 for her Off-Broadway production Entre Mundos. Then, she toured extensively across the United States and Latin America, performing in renowned theaters such as Place des Arts in Montreal, the Teresa Carreno Theater in Caracas, and the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami.

In 2013, in collaboration with Jose Luis de la Paz, Garrido premiered and toured with a flamenco suite titled Flamenco Intimo, which remains in her repertoire and continues to evolve.

In 2015, Garrido relocated her company to Miami, Florida, due to socio-political challenges in Venezuela. Starting from scratch as an immigrant, she was soon entrusted by the Los Angeles Philharmonic with the choreography and artistic direction of Manuel de Falla's Amor Brujo as part of the Falla, Flamenco, and Dudamel concert in 2015. This collaboration with maestro Gustavo Dudamel resulted in four sold-out performances at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and was later re-staged at the Hollywood Bowl in 2019.

In 2019, Garrido was featured on World of Dance on NBC. In the same year, Siudy showcased Bailaora—Within Me, Within You, which premiered after the pandemic in 2021. This production commissioned original music by Juan Parrilla and Manuel Fernandez and the award-winning feature documentary Bailaora, Mis pies son mi voz, earning her two Latin Grammy nominations in 2022. In 2021, Siudy invited dancer Jose Manuel Alvarez for a collaboration performance titled Gala Flamenca and continued touring with Bailaora, now titled after its documentary, Bailaora—Mis Pies Son Mi Voz.

Recently, Garrido revamped Amor Brujo at the Adrienne Arsht Center, incorporating new music by maestro Jose Luis de la Paz, and opened the 62nd Bursa Arts Festival in Turkey with the Istanbul Regional Orchestra conducted by Naci Özgüç.

Beyond stage productions, Garrido has collaborated with renowned artists such as Alejandro Sanz and Romeo Santos in live concerts and has been featured in music videos with Marc Anthony and Mana. Her work with institutions like LA PHIL, Disney, and Cirque du Soleil further highlights her versatility.

Garrido has also performed at prestigious events such as the Palma de Mallorca "Play for Good" Philanthropic gala, Latin Grammy Academy's Person of the Year gala honoring Alejandro Sanz, and Univision's 1 hour TV special "Ellas".
