Music has been present in my life since I was born, it’s part of who I am. I dance because it’s the only place where I can be my real self.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I love every kind of dance style, but as a latina, my body flows automatically through latino rhythm’s like reggaeton, bachata, salsa, merengue etc. Hip Hop and Urban style are one of my favorites as well, but my goal is to learn all kind of styles. My inspiration is my sister. She has been a dancer way longer than I have, and she is the reason I fell in love with dancing. I look up to her always.

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

To be in Ciara’s music video would be life changing. My dream is to one day be able to dance with big artists such as Ciara, it would be an amazing experience just to feel all the joy and adrenaline during that type of opportunity.

What would you do with the $20,000?

Someday I want to start my own dance studio/gym where people from all walks of life can combine workouts with dancing all in one environment. Where I can build a safe space for people to be themselves without feeling judged. And, with the $20,000 I can start this dream sooner than later.
