Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
My style of dance is strong and diverse, reflecting the various cultural influences that make up who I am. Being of a diverse background has surrounded me with multiple different styles and cultures that has allowed me to draw inspiration from different rhythms and backgrounds.Ultimately, I’m inspired by the beat of the music itself, letting it guide my movement and energy in a way that feels authentic and powerful.
Being in Ciara’s music video would be a game-changer, allowing me to showcase my dance style on a major platform and connect with a wider audience. Working with an artist of her caliber would challenge me creatively, pushing me to elevate my craft. Ultimately, it would be a significant milestone in my dance dreams, opening doors to new opportunities and growth as a dancer.
I would invest a portion of the $20,000 in myself by seeking more opportunities to grow within the dance community. To celebrate, I’d use some of the money for a family vacation, and save the rest for future opportunities.
The search is on for eight dancers to be flown to a live judged event in Phoenix, AZ, showcasing their skills to Ciara and her choreographer, Jamaica Craft. One will be chosen to appear in her upcoming music video and win $20,000!
