Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is a mix of sass, hip-hop, vogue, cheer, soft, sexy, smooth..Me! I come from a long background of dance style and technique along with modeling and acting to add a touch of my own personal style and flair to the movement.

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

As a former dancer it will help all of my friends who use to dance or anyone thinking of changing careers because they didn’t make that big audition, to not give it all up so fast that they still have a window of opportunity to reach their goals of being in a music video, dancing for an Icon, to be able to say guess what I didn’t give up I’m still here and here’s my moment to help the next one come up and not give up.

What would you do with the $20,000?

What would I do with $20,000? The money would go towards helping the youth I coach. I’m a cheerleading coach in a high school in Brooklyn NY and my girls need new uniforms, cheer items and a good lunch to thrive. They look great now but to receive what they need in a timely manner because to go to competition they need cheer uniforms. Right now they have Game Day gear and I want them to feel confident when they step in the room and to only worry about the routine and not their look.
