Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I love everything dance, I’ve been dancing since I was 5 so any and everything from hip hop to jazz to contemporary is my happy place. My inspiration comes from the greats like Debbi Allen, Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, Ciara, Katherine Durham and many more.

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

If I am blessed to be chosen for Ciara’s video it will be a great opportunity, I will be able to experience dance at a new level, learn from someone great in the industry and allow me a view of what my future can be.

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I win the $20,000 I would invest in my craft, take unlimited workshops and classes to get help perfect my technique, and put money in a 529 plan for my education. I would love to help my mom but I’m sure she will want me to invest in myself instead.
