Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is a fusion of jazz and hip-hop, with a focus on storytelling and bold, dynamic movements. I’m inspired by legends like Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and Janet Jackson, as well as choreographer Parris Goebel, whose work motivates me to push boundaries and express emotion through dance.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be a dream come true. It would launch my dance career, connect me with other creatives, and inspire me to push my artistry further. It’s an opportunity to showcase my passion and open doors for future collaborations in the industry.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I will invest in training and grow more in my dance career. The funds would also help me take the first steps toward building my own dance community. Creating a space where people can express themselves, collaborate, and find support.
