I’m the next Dance Icon because I have so much heart, passion, and dedication when I am on stage or in class. Dancing is my therapy.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I love dancing jazz funk, heels, salsa, bachata, hiphop, and pro cheer. My inspiration comes from my mentors who taught me to have confidence, patience, and self love in my journey and to always be unapologetic fearlessly me.

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

Ciara’s music video would change my life and would be a dream come true. I grew up watching and dancing to “Ride”. She inspired me to be a dancer. This music video would give me confidence that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.

What would you do with the $20,000?

First, I would help donate to families who have been affected the LA fires and need to rebuild their homes. Second, I would invest the money into my career and passions. I’d use it to further my dance education and use the funds to apply to cosmetology school.
