Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is called Flexn. It is a style derived from dancehall but modernized into a new york dance style named after a teen showcase show called Flex n brooklyn. It can be seen in many places. Such as in movies like step up and in the heights. Also in dancehall videos like pondi river n give it up to me. On dance tours with artist like Madonna, rihanna, chris brown, beyonce and jayz. My dance style consists of many different elements but bonebreaking and hattricks stand out most to ppl.

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

Being in this video would help me reach one more step in my goal as a dancer. Which is to dance with Missy and Ciara to a Timbaland song. I grew up dancing and listening to them. So being in this video would be unreal and also shed light onto a dance style many dont know.

What would you do with the $20,000?

Well first would be tithe bc without God I would be here or have this talent. Then start a saving for my kids so they can so what they are passionate about when they get older and lastly start my business. My ultimate goal is to a school for science and the arts. I feel like this world is losing its connection with the arts and science. These two subjects made me who I am as a dance father and man.
