Maria cortes

I’m a fast learner when it comes to dancing. I don’t do it for show and tell it’s a passion of mine that’s been in the dark for way to long.

Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!

The first cut is on Thursday the 13th of February at 7PM PST

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I was once a dancer around 7 years old. I thought it was cool at first until it was over. I realize I love it. It’s an art just like the taste of music is to me. I like to let my body flow to the beat

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

I can finally say I faced a long lasting fear of mine. Growing up I’ve been through some things that changed me forever. Always the shy girl who can’t get over stage fright or her anxiety. I don’t want to be know for that anymore. It’s time I stand up for myself for a change.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I’d pay off all debts and give back to my family members that’s been there though my rough times. Any left over would go towards my music career. (After I successfully get over stage fright)

8 Dancers

And One Big Break!

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!
