I express myself through contemporary and jazz, blending fluidity and emotion with bold energy and rhythm. Inspired by Misty Copeland, I strive to bring passion and authenticity to every performance. Her resilience and determination through her injuries remind me that dance is about breaking barriers and telling stories. Contemporary allows me to explore creativity, while jazz challenges me with its dynamic precision. Dance is where I feel most alive, free to grow and connect through movement.
Being in Ciara’s music video would be life-changing. It would give me the opportunity to showcase my passion for dance on a global platform, connect with an icon who inspires confidence and artistry, and grow as a performer. It would open doors for my career, boost my visibility, and motivate me to keep pushing my limits. Representing my style and energy in such a creative space would solidify my belief that hard work and dreams can lead to incredible opportunities.
With $20,000, I would invest in opening a dance studio focused on creating a positive, supportive environment for young dancers. Too often, the joy of dance is overshadowed by teachers who prioritize pressure over passion, and I want to break that cycle. My studio would emphasize technique, creativity, and confidence while fostering a love for dance. It would be a space where kids feel inspired, not defeated, and where their growth as dancers and individuals is the priority.
