Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is Freestyle. Straight from the heart, Expressive. Energetic. Story Telling. I grew up learning to dance through Ciara and Missy Elliot Music videos so I will definitely give them credit for being my first two inspirations. Allyson Stoner in Missy's Music videos was a huge influence for me. Choreographers like Chachi Gonzales, Philip Chbeeb + Brian Puspos too.

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

It makes me emotional just thinking about it and honestly, It would absolutely change my life. It would show me how prayer and hard work pays off. I'd be able to live out my dream and prove to myself that my upbringing was not a limitation to my success. I'd make Myself, My friends and My Family proud. I'd be reminded of my worthiness to be here and the importance of sharing my gift and light with the world.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would Immediately relocate to NYC to pursue my education in dance and career as a Performer with full force. My family couldn't afford to pay for a dance school/program so I would learn choreography on YouTube. After moving to NJ at the age of 15 it became 10x more difficult to travel to NYC and train consistently in the styles I desired to. After all these years, I realize that I have no choice but to make Dance a priority. I am ready to Invest into my art In every way that I can.
