Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have been dancing and curating movment since early childhood in various styles. I pull inspiration from my training in the world of modern/ contemporary plus commercialized street communities. Expressive storytelling is often amplified by my movement. I treat the world as my stage and us my movement to tell the story that is my life.

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

I am passionate about performance and entertainment delivered from someone authentic and inspiring. Ciara’s relationship to the dance community is real and she is committed to the work. I would be honored to work along side her.

What would you do with the $20,000?

Passionate about education, I would use the money to create a program designed to help elevate a dancer's knowledge. This applies to history, longevity, and more. I would be interested in making this available to all dancers of all ages.
