Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is a blend of contemporary and hip-hop, allowing me to express a wide range of emotions and stories. Contemporary brings fluidity and grace, while hip-hop adds energy and rhythm. I draw inspiration from everyday life, powerful music, and iconic dancers who have shaped the industry. Their artistry motivates me to push boundaries and innovate. I believe dance is a universal language, and my goal is to connect deeply with audiences, inspiring them to embrace their own dance journeys.

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

It would allow me to showcase my talent to a broader audience and inspire others through my dance. Collaborating with an artist like Ciara would enhance my skills and push my creativity to new heights. This experience would validate my hard work and dedication, serving as a significant stepping stone in my career. Ultimately, it would motivate me to pursue my passion with even greater enthusiasm and open doors to future opportunities in the dance world.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would enhance my nonprofit summer dance camp, "To the Beat with Tootie," ensuring it continues to thrive in my hometown. Additionally, I would establish a scholarship for a local student pursuing any form of art be it dance, music, visual arts, or poetry supporting their education and passion. This investment would not only enrich our community but also inspire the next generation of artists.
