Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My first inspiration for dancing came from the legend himself, Michael Jackson. Watching the way he danced, was a goldmine to me. He helped me to learn to loosen up and flow to the beat. Chris Brown is my 2nd inspiration. I followed his choreography in a lot of his videos. He inspired me to spice it up in my own way. Finally, my last inspiration is Ciara. Ciara showed me how to get crunk but keeping it cute in her videos. Learning from these legends, i can add my swag and light up the stage.

How would being in Ciara's music video impact your life?

Just the fact of dancing behind Ciara is a dream come true. To be actually in one of her videos is a tremendous goal. I believe I can learn more as a dancer and it’ll help elevate me. This will help me to open my mind up more in the dance world and make me a better dancer.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would help my family out with what they needed.
