From backflipping to African Dance, I embody power, fluidity, and passion. Dance is my heartbeat, and when the music plays, I am free.

I’ve studied Horton, Graham, and the Dunham techniques, each shaping my foundation. I’ve leaped across stages in African dance, told stories through modern, and floated through Jazz with fluidity. I’ve battled in hip-hop, embracing individuality, and explored the strength of pole dancing. These diverse styles have taught me control, emotion, expression, and freedom. When the beat drops, I feel the energy of it all, and I can’t help but move. Dance is my story, unstoppable
I love dance so deeply, yet my career has taken me down a different path. It’s like I’ve been missing the love of my life, only catching fleeting glimpses, never fully embracing it. Being in Ciara’s music video would be the moment I finally get to hold that love in my arms. It would give me the chance to dance at the heart of what I cherish most, stepping into the world I’ve always dreamed of. It would ignite a journey I’ve always known was meant to be.
The first short film I helped create was a dance documentary. I remember the energy of the dancers, the emotion in every move. If I won the $20,000, I’d expand on that by exploring how dance connects cultures, how it transcends language and speaks to our shared humanity. I want to capture stories of people from different parts of the world and show how rhythm unites us all!
