I grew up learning the choreo to “Goodies” in my living room, so it would be a full circle moment to be IN her video when I’m all grown up!

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I can’t choose 1 person that I’m inspired by because I’ve been inspired by SO many of my peers growing up. I’m proud to come from a dance community that always had the drive, raw energy and passion to pursue dance. I’ve trained in hiphop my whole life and I am always looking to be the best version of myself!

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

It would be so surreal…my goal is to always be in the rooms everyone talks about, and to be surrounded by the best. I think it’s also important to show the small town students trying to pursue any career, not only dance, that it’s possible. Especially for my home studio. It would be a game changer for sure !

What would you do with the $20,000?

Man, there’s so many things I can think of! But it would help me get ahead financially so I’m able to focus more on my dance career, especially living in such an expensive city like LA!
