I dance from my heart! I do it for my community and family. Every style I’ve learned from Krump to Tap has made me who I Am today.

Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
Krump, a dynamic dance style born in South Central Los Angeles, became my lifeline when I needed it most. Growing up on the tough streets of LA, I was surrounded by violence and danger at every turn. But when I discovered Krump, everything changed. This high-energy dance style, characterized by its intense, expressive movements, allowed me to channel my emotions and frustrations into something positive. As I immersed myself in the Krump community, I found a sense of belonging and purpose.
My appearance in a major artist's music video would expose me to a vast audience, potentially leading to more opportunities and fame. This high-profile feature could attract attention from other artists, directors, or producers, possibly leading to more collaborations or projects.
First thing I would do with $20,000 is rent out a three bedroom house for my mother and my two daughters so that we can have somewhere to live and be productive as I am homeless right now working a full-time job. Secondly, I would invest the rest of the money into marketing and advertising And grow my brand that I have been working on for the last 10 years, which includes fashion design, live performance, and investing inside of the meta-verse creating fully immersive experiences for humanity.
The search is on for eight dancers to be flown to a live judged event in Phoenix, AZ, showcasing their skills to Ciara and her choreographer, Jamaica Craft. One will be chosen to appear in her upcoming music video and win $20,000!
