Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I can pretty much do any type of style of dance you give me, my personal favorites are contemporary and hip-hop! I love being able to tell a story through movement and really feeling every beat of a song! I’m known for my facial expressions and stage performance with lighting up the stage. Growing up I’ve always been inspired by backup dancers and knowing how hard they work to get to that point and fulfilling their dreams is beautiful to me.

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

It would truly be a blessing and honor to be apart of Ciara’s music video! I know it would help me grow as a dancer and unlock a new opportunity in life to be able to share my creativity with the world in ways, I could never imagine!

What would you do with the $20,000?

It may sound cliché, but if I got the money, I would definitely help my sister and mom get out of debt so they could relax and enjoy life again without any worries. Then I can’t lie. I would definitely do a little traveling because I’ve always been into learning about different cultures! I would also see what my next dance adventure will be.
