What makes me the next dance icon is how serious I am about my craft. Dance is and will always be my first love.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My strongest styles are contemporary and hip hop. My biggest inspiration for hip hop is Sean Bankhead, I love how every single one of his dances are different but when you see it you know it’s his work. My love for contemporary came from Dr. Johnson my dance professor at NCCU ( North Carolina Central University). When she pushed me beyond what I thought I could do I started to enjoy contemporary more and more.

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

It would make all the training, frustration, and late nights worth it. My dream is to become a professional dancer for film and to tour with an artist and I know this video will help my career. Most importantly it’ll make my parents very proud.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would save the money and invest it towards my own dance studio that I am going to have in the future. After I retire from being a professional dancer my goal is to open a safe space for everyone who enjoys dance.
