Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is bold and full of energy, mixing hip-hop with fun, feminine booty-shaking. I’m inspired by choreographers like JoJo Gomez, Jonathan Sison, and Parris Goebel, who taught me to bring passion and confidence to every move. My love for dance started when I saw Beyoncé’s Baby Boy dance break. Watching her move in the sand blew me away, and I knew I wanted to dance with that same power and confidence. That moment drives me to go full out every time I perform

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

This opportunity would change my life by giving me the chance to chase a dream I’ve always had but never fully gone after…dancing in a music video or performing with an artist. It’s something I’ve wanted for so long, and it would mean the world to finally make it happen. I also hope it opens doors for me to grow as a dancer and to expand the dance class I started, so I can inspire others to chase their dreams too.

What would you do with the $20,000?

Omg. This would really help jump start my future. I am also in school to become a psychotherapist and this would really help me pay down so much debt that I am in. It could really give me a fresh start to expand so many things I can because of lack of funds.
