Iconic dancers express their unique skill, technique, and ability to convey stories through movement. This makes me the next Dance Icon.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style consist of Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Majorette and Praise. I have been dancing for 9 years. I was inspired at a young age from watching colleges or dance battles on television. My inspiration comes from a space of freedom. When I dance I give my all and nothing else matters. I also do not limit myself, I work hard and achieve my goals.

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

Being in Ciara music video would impact my life in a positive way. It would be a great learning experience to even be in Ciara's presence let alone dance with her. Ciara is a guru when it comes to performing, but more so her love to give back. Making a name for myself, if given the opportunity, as well as witnessing how Ciara conducts and mentors would be a great opportunity.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With the earning of $20,000 I would put that towards helping my family financially. I am involved in a number of activities and putting it towards fees and uniforms would help my family tremendously. I would also save some to help start saving for college. I would also invest in myself by taking dance classes and trainings, making sure my technique stays good.
