Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

As a competitive dancer who has been dancing for 11+ years, I am trained in many different styles (ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, jazz funk, and ballroom) which makes me a well rounded and adapted dancer. I love being able to tell a story through the art of dance, no matter the style, and being able to entertain an audience at all times.

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

Being in a music video for such a major artist would be a huge personal milestone. The experience of working with a renowned artist, mastering choreography, and performing on a high-production set would challenge me to push my limits and refine my skills. Additionally, Ciara's energy, style, and work ethic would inspire me to elevate my own artistry and career approach.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would love to pursue a BFA in dance and continue my dance training beyond high school. That money would give me a kick start on furthering my education to help pursue my passion of dance.

8 Dancers
