I’m a fierce leader and bring my Latin fire to every dance movement I do, teach and perform! I come alive when I dance on stage & on camera!

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I wouldn’t identify my dance as one style as I love and have trained in many, including Waacking, locking, jazz, shuffling, and many more! My inspiration for it all is my guardian angel, MOM. She was at every rehearsal, performance, and she's my beacon in heaven to keep dancing always. I’ve also always looked up to LaurieAnn Gibson, Tricia Miranda, Sean Bankhead and Parris Goebel. Their dancing and choreography is so unique, it can be spotted anywhere!

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

In HS, I received an award of Most Likely to be in a Music Video :) I instead chose a path to continue teaching dance to kids and never really pursued an industry opportunity at this level for myself. After seeing Ciara live with Jamaica Craft’s choreo on “Out of this world” Tour, I IMMEDIATELY wanted to dance for her as Ciara and her dancers reignited that dream inside me. I hope that pursuing this opportunity alone will inspire someone else. They say it’s never too late

What would you do with the $20,000?

I’d reignite the energy of my hip-hop studio, ElectrikCITY Dance Movement in Austin, TX - bringing back a home where dancers of all ages and levels can thrive. This wouldn’t just be a studio; it’d be a movement - fostering raw talent, opening doors to life-changing opportunities, and inspiring the next generation to chase THEIR dreams with the same fire that got me here.
