I find inspiration in every person, genre of dance and journey I encounter. My icon style is a unique blend of classical training and multi-style performance! Every chance to dance is a gift and a personal challenge to grow. My dance style allows me to inspire, uplift, and grow with others around me.

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

Ciara has been a huge presence in my life since I was a young woman. She has always pushed for a big artistic presence with full dance numbers. Since her break out, she has been authentically herself and it had allowed me to embrace the same. Being in one of her videos, I would be able to represent myself and three broad, beautiful variety of dancer. It would be one if the biggest honors of my life. It would allow me to break into the dance world in a bigger scope with an artist I admire.

What would you do with the $20,000?

The money would go towards getting my life as a dancer started. It would also funnel back into training for myself and the students I teach to give back and build our community. Whether it's for my young students at the studio or my ConfiDance adults, this is for us all to grow as a community!
