Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have always LOVED hiphop. i always strove towards more upbeat movement, stuff that makes people happy. Ive always wanted to make people feel things. I love contemporary and modern also but hiphop has a special place in my heart. I grew up locking, waacking, breaking, and krumping . ive also learned from battling and getting immersed with the culture and history of it all. I live in philly, kensington to be exact, grew up around the urban culture. it has always inspired me.

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

It would be a HUGE opportunity to get out there and learn what being in the industry is like. ive had a few opportunities but life is all about experience and getting to dance for someone my aunties always listened to would be such a full circle moment. something that would touch a very sentimental place in my heart.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I am in college for dance so I would definitely save some for bills an expenses. I would most definitely try to get a car instead of public transportation. But something Ive been wanting to do is help my aunties out with bills when im home from college. We have it ROUGH and live pay check to pay check and just giving them some of that money would be a HUGE help to them. I want to take care of them as then have done for me
