Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is very diverse. I’m a classically trained dancer with skills sets such as ballet, contemporary, and jazz. However, hiphop is my absolute favorite style. My inspiration is my grandfather who held a huge role in raising me. His nickname was “Disco” and he loved to dance!

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be a reminder that I’m capable of anything I put my mind to! Along with this, it would be one of my first steps into dancing professionally, which is my lifelong dream.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With the prize money I would spend it very wisely with most of it going towards my collegiate education. I would also desire to use some of the money towards charitable donations. I volunteer often and realize that not everyone is as fortunate as I am. Therefore, I would love to use some of the money to help support those in need.
