Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I first started dancing at the age of five, starting off doing Ballet and Tap. As I got older, I began to participate in Hip-Hop, Contemporary and Jazz. Going into middle school, I began cheering which I’ve continued all the way up to college. The years 2022-2023 I was the Dance captain of Elizabeth City State University cheer team, the D’Lytes. I am now a senior in college and have continued Stomp and Shake cheering which incorporates dancing.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would help me tremendously in the dance world. I would become more known and opened to opportunities that I’ve always wanted to do since I was a little girl.

What would you do with the $20,000?

The $20,000 would be a start towards opening my own cheer and dance facility!

8 Dancers

And One Big Break!

The search is on for eight dancers to be flown to a live judged event in Phoenix, AZ, showcasing their skills to Ciara and her choreographer, Jamaica Craft. One will be chosen to appear in her upcoming music video and win $20,000!
