Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My inspiration in dance growing up came from 106&Park watching my favorite artists like Ciara, Chris Brown, and Missy Elliot. One thing that I enjoy most about these artists is the way that they make you feel like you're watching a movie. You always feel something through their music and it just makes you want to get up and dance with them. When I dance, I not only like to incorporate moves that people recognize but also create an emotion that is remembered.

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

Being in Ciara's music video would extremely impact my soul as an inspiring dancer. It would prove to myself that I'm capable of being on stage as a dancer. My dream has always been to dance behind Ciara since I was a kid. I drew pictures of me dancing with her when I was in elementary school. This opportunity would also prove to myself and others it's never too late to go after your dreams whether big or small. Never give up! You'll never know if you don't try!

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I won the 20,000 I would try to help my mother with any finances. I would also try to pay some of my school loan debt. The rest of the money I would want to start my own business to inspire others to do what I did and chase their own dreams. I would like to have motivational speeches or "talks" to any dancer that needs an extra push to believe in themselves at the same time continuing to push myself forward to teach my choreography and dance for others.
