Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

Grew up around my family always dancing and started training at the age of 31. My dance style consists of Festejo (Peruvian Afro dance),Axe Bahia (Brazilian Dance),and many other styles just growing up around it. Started training in Salsa on 2 in 2021, and two years ago in Bachata. My inspiration has been Ciara and Chris Brown since I was 15 years old with “Goodies” and “Run it”. They are both still my Dance Icons and to see them collaborate recently in “How we roll

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

I have always imagine myself being in Ciara’s music video so this opportunity would be an absolute dream come true. To be involved with a project like this would be such an experience and accomplishment. On a personal level, it would mean the world to be able to show my parents that I was able to achieve a life long goal of mine. I know they would fully understand and share my happiness knowing how much I’ve wanted this and how hard I’ve worked for it.

What would you do with the $20,000?

Gift my parents something and help build an organization worth doing and having purpose to guide humans to be themselves and view happiness in their personal level because everyone is different.
