Eva Marder

I’m the next Dance Icon because I teach and perform dance with humor! I meld salsa, popping, and hip hop, to form my style and spread smiles

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is fun and fluid. I love taking inspiration from many styles like contemporary, street, and reggaeton to create fluid waves and isolations. I am inspired by my mom, who gave me the gift of dancing and told me her stories of learning salsa from her Puerto Rican college roommates

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

Ciara’s music video would deliver the platform necessary to build my public presence as a dancer beginning in the commercial industry. It is my dream not just to tour as a dancer with artists but to open my own dance studio. Ciara’s video would give me the creative credentials to continue and validate my dance career. I also hope to gain the experience from taping and practicing at the high standard Ciara holds her dancers.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would enroll in Berklee summer dance intensive or spend time in LA to dance in the studios and with the choreographers I admire. I would save part of it to put toward the founding of a dance studio in my future.
