Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is a fusion of contemporary and hip hop, blending fluidity with grounded, rhythmic movements. I lean towards a laid-back, subtle energy, allowing my intentions behind each movement to speak more than just the steps themselves. My biggest inspiration comes from my friends, who are some of the most skilled and creative dancers I know. Their unique ways of moving push me to explore new ideas and constantly evolve my own style.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be an incredible, full-circle moment for me. I grew up dancing to her music, so to have the opportunity to work with her now would be surreal. I just moved to LA in August and am focused on getting my name out there and signing with an agency. The exposure from such a high-profile project would not only boost my visibility but also open doors in ways I can only imagine, helping me move closer to my career goals.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I’d start by investing as much as I could into my Roth IRA. I’d also use part of it for some necessities I’ve been putting off and pay off my credit cards to relieve financial stress. But most importantly, I’d want to give some back to my mom. She’s done so much for me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her support. It would mean a lot to show her how much I appreciate everything she’s done for me.
