I am the next Dance Icon because I show others that with energy, charisma, and confidence anyone can bring light into any stage.

Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
The dance style I connect with most is hip hop—it makes me feel alive, powerful, and unstoppable. Dance is so much more than just mastering choreography; it's about feeling every beat and letting it move you. Through hip hop, I channel energy, emotion, and passion, and I want to inspire others to do the same.
Being in Ciara’s music video would be a dream come true—a chance to grow as a dancer, expand my creativity, and advance my career. It’s not just about proving to the world that I’m enough and that anything is possible; it would be a life-changing experience, reshaping how I see myself and the world around me.
If I won $20,000, I’d use it to pay for school. Coming from a low-income household, this would ease the financial burden on my family and give my parents peace of mind, knowing they wouldn’t have to struggle to cover my tuition.
The search is on for eight dancers to be flown to a live judged event in Phoenix, AZ, showcasing their skills to Ciara and her choreographer, Jamaica Craft. One will be chosen to appear in her upcoming music video and win $20,000!
