Jaylynn Okechukwu
I'm gifted, talented, and have my own typical dance style that sets me apart from everyone else. I guess you can call me a hidden gem.

Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
My dance style is a fusion of contemporary and hip-hop, reflecting my passion for expressing emotions through movement while incorporating urban energy. Hip-hop dancers who tell powerful stories through their choreography are my soulmates. Nature also inspires me; I embrace fluid movements that mimic its beauty. By blending these influences, I create performances that resonate with audiences, inviting them to feel the rhythm and emotion behind every step.
Being in Ciara's music video would be an eye opening experience for me. It would provide a unique platform to showcase my dance skills to a wider audience, helping me gain recognition and credibility in the industry. Collaborating with a talented artist like Ciara would inspire me creatively and push me to elevate my craft. The opportunity to connect with many dancers and industry professionals could open doors for future projects. Lastly, it would be a significant stepping stone in my journey.
If I won the $20,000 from Ciara's contest, I would invest a significant portion into my dance education by attending workshops and classes with renowned choreographers to refine my skills. I'd also allocate funds for creating a professional dance portfolio, including high-quality videos to showcase my talent. I would also use some of the money to support local dance programs for underprivileged youth, helping to inspire the next generation. Finally, I'd save a portion for future opportunities.
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!
