I am the next Dance Icon because I am a hard worker and my passion for dance shows through in my movement.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My biggest dance inspiration(s) would have to be my company directors, Donovan and Autumn Gibbs. They are always positive, but honest, and they are always pushing us to be the best we can be while keeping our individual style. They lead by example and always try to do what’s right. They also have my dream job of being commercial dancers, and they are teaching us about how to pursue that as a career.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be a dream come true. It would be my first professional dance opportunity and give me experience to help get a dance agent. I love dancing to Ciara’s music, and our team even had a hip hop dance last year called “Ciara Mix” that was mix of many of her songs. Being in this music video would hopefully help me book other jobs and get started on my commercial career.

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I won, I would do a few things. First, I would take some of the money and invest it for my future. Then, I would donate some of the money to my school, and to a dancer or dance school in need (maybe a dance school impacted by the fires in Los Angeles). I also have a little brother with special needs, and I would donate some money to the special education program at his school. With the left over money, I would use it to train with some of the best choreographers to keep growing in dance.
