Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style includes many genres. I am currently a pre-professional dancer at Elite Dance Centre, LLC. As well as a professional dancer for the Milwaukee Bucks (Young Bucks Dance Team). I am trained in hip hop, lyrical, jazz, and so on. I am inspired by so many people. My mom and dad are the most inspiring to me. They show resilience, grace, and empathy in everything they do. Most importantly, they support me and my dreams in any way they are able.

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

I grew up listening to Ciara! She is one of my favorite artists, and is such an inspirational person. My sister, brother, and I have dance parties to her songs in the living room. Being in her music video would impact my life in so many positive ways! This includes, but is not limited to, getting my name out there, gaining more inspiration from those around me, having a once in a lifetime opportunity and core memory, ect.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would put it towards advancing my career as a dancer, and student (i.e. dance/master classes, costumes, gas, dance tuition, college, and so on).
