I was dancing before I was walking, dance is who I am. You can see the passion I have for dance when I move.

I would have to say that my dance style is hip hop, that is where I excel. I do enjoy contemporary, tap and musical theater as well, pretty much any style where I can showcase my personality. It is as if the music speaks to me and my body just responds, the movement is how I communicate without saying a word. I find that I am able to just shut my brain off and dance. Like so many others I was inspired by the greatest, Michael Jackson.
Being in a music video would change my life for the better. To take part in a creative project like that would give a boost to my self-confidence and give me a sense of accomplishment. I feel it would be a great start to my future with dance and the entertainment industry. It would enable me to meet others in the industry by being on a "larger stage".
I would use the $20,000 to further my dance education/career. That amount would give me the opportunity to attend programs, conventions and classes. I would also like to give a portion to my current studio to offer a scholarship to encourage more males to dance.
