Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I was originally trained as a contemporary dancer, but when I got into college for dance I found that my passion lies in the commercial dance industry. I love street styles and hip hop, and I am heavily inspired by both the dance scene in the US as well as in the UK and Europe! When I studied abroad in Barcelona, I got to train with so many amazing movers that taught me so much about my personal style. It goes to show that dance really is the universal language that unites us all!

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

This video would be a huge career milestone, elevating my visibility in the industry and showcasing my ability to perform at a professional level! It would allow me to learn from top choreographers as well as from my talented peers, and gain valuable experience on a high-caliber production. This opportunity would fuel my growth as a working dancer, inspire me to push boundaries, & help me build credibility and momentum towards achieving my goals and making my loved ones proud.

What would you do with the $20,000?

As I am young and just starting my career, the first thing I would do is put a bunch of it in my savings account! I'm graduating college next year, so this money would be an amazing tool to help me take my next steps post-graduation, whether it be out towards finding an apartment or maybe to facilitate moving to another city, state, or country! I would also love to share it with my parents, who have given me so much, and have been the biggest contributors towards me reaching my goals.

8 Dancers
