Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I am an all style hip hop dancer with my main style being a popper. I am a street dancer as well as a professional sports team dancer and much more. I was inspired by the Electric Boogaloos, Janet Jackson and all urban street styles of hip hop dance. I have danced for pro sports teams from the NBA, WNBA, NFL, NHL, and the IFL. Watching dancers perform in both of these dance worlds developed my style of dance.

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

Being at the age of 42 and a Mother of 3 and a Grandma with my first Granddaughter, Im ready to show the world it can be done at any age or time in your dance career. My students and fellow dancers would not only be proud of me, but proud they learned from me! I want to show the world even with my traumatic brain surgery Craniotomy (that caused a Traumatic Brain Injury) and being a single Mom, you can still accomplish your dreams. Nothing should ever hold you back if your heart is there!

What would you do with the $20,000?

I opened my own Hip Hop Only dance studio in 2018 and had to close the facility down due to Covid. I would use the money to reopen my studio (Hollywood's Hip Hop Spot) here in Phoenix again. My studio provides training in all styles of hip hop from basic choreography in all levels, popping, breaking, locking, house dance and much more. I want to provide after school outlets and scholarships for my students. My studio also specializes in teaching the art of freestyle dancing.
