I grew up as a competition dancer, inspired by music videos that showcased the power of movement to tell stories and express emotion. Over the years, I've been fortunate to train with renowned artists, honing my versatility across contemporary, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, ballet, and jazz funk. My style is driven by music, ensuring every movement aligns with its rhythm and emotion. Dance is my passion, for me, it’s about creating a connection while telling powerful stories through movement.
Being in Ciara’s music video would be a dream come true. She’s one of my favorite dancers and performers, and even just standing in the same room or meeting her would be a huge honor. This opportunity would bring my lifelong dream of performing in music videos to life. As an aspiring professional dancer, working with Ciara would not only be an incredible milestone but also an experience that would propel me closer to my ultimate goal in the dance industry.
With $20,000, I would invest in furthering my dance career by purchasing a car to travel for auditions and performances. It would also help cover the final costs of my college studies, enabling me to earn a degree that supports my dance aspirations. Additionally, the funds would allow me to afford travel and accommodations for dance jobs, bringing me closer to making my dream of being a professional dancer a reality.
