It’s incredible how a passion can connect on such a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. For me, dancing is not just a hobby, it’s a way of life. Just the thought of dancing inspires me, because it’s the only activity that allows me to leave my body and connect with my soul. I believe we heal not only when we dance, but also through what we transmit to others when they watch us dance. My dance style is a mix of belly dance, contemporary, and a bit of ballroom.
I would feel lucky and very fortunate to be here, it would be my first time in a music video, it would make me VERY excited and would make me feel really special!
I would invest the $20,000 in my development as a dancer, taking specialized classes and workshops. Additionally, I would allocate part of the prize to collaborate with local organizations, offering workshops and resources to young talents, providing them with the opportunity to train and grow in dance.
