Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have been training in numerous styles such as hip hop, jazz, modern, ballet and even took a gymnastics and tricking route for a while. Through knowing multiple styles I love to experiment and combine them to create unique movement qualities.

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

Through this opportunity I will be able to spread my name further across the dance world. Getting an experience that will provide more training and working more with being behind the camera.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With $20,000 I will help pay for my education as I am currently in college majoring Commercial Dance. This amount will contribute to the payment of classes and workshops to continue my craft and take it to a career in performing and teaching.
