Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is jazz, tap, hip hop and contemporary. I love to kick, leap and turn but I also love to dance to the beats and rhythms using syncopations and body isolations. I have trained in (almost) all dance styles since the age of 3 years old. I am now 31 years old. Moreover, I have found a passion for dancing in heels and always feel inspired leaving heel classes after I take a dance class at Millennium Dance Complex. Thus, I can easily adapt to the choreographer’s vision.

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

To be casted in Ciara’s music video would honestly change my life as a dance teacher. I would not only be able to add such an amazing accomplishment to my resume, but I also believe that I would be able to learn and grow professionally as a dancer and that I could take valuable lessons about the entertainment industry into Concordia Arts Academy where I work.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would pay off my school debt from Arizona State University. I got my BFA in Dance Education. I owe $30,000.
