Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is a basis of fluid contemporary movement with lots of percussive elements and fusion of all styles. This includes accented isolations, hitting angular shapes precisely, and big circular movement that adds dimension to my work. My inspiration comes from the dance teachers I trained with growing up. I trained in various different styles such as ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop, modern, and Bollywood. All these different styles helped contribute to my unique movement.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be a life-changing experience for me. Ciara is an icon whose artistry has truly inspired me and my movement. Being a part of something that will reach a big dance audience will help open doors to work with choreographers and artists I look up to. It will also help me gain incredible experience furthering my growth as a performer. To play a part in Ciara’s vision will help fuel my determination and desire to chase my goals in the dance industry.

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I would want to give it back to my parents as a thank-you for their unwavering support. They have always been my biggest supporters, encouraging me to pursue my dreams as a dancer in such a competitive industry. Their sacrifices have made it possible for me to live and train in Los Angeles and continue my dance journey. Giving back to them would be my way of showing how deeply grateful I am for everything they’ve done to help me become the dancer and person I am today.
