Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I am always inspired by somebody in the room who is full of confidence and pride when they take the floor! The way a dancer performs with their face while also nailing the textures and choreography inspires me. I train in many different dance styles to keep myself versatile, but jazz funk is my favorite by far! I’ve fallen in love with the practice of dynamics, musicality, and performance all in one style. Jazz funk makes me feel like a STAR!

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

Being apart of Ciara’s music video would impact my life in so many ways! The opportunity to be in this music video would be a jumpstart to my professional dance career. This experience would teach me many lessons a dancer should learn when stepping into the professional dance industry. Being in a music video also comes with exposure to any dance choreographers and directors watching. I’ve grown up listening and grooving to Ciara’s music so learning from her would be a dream!

What would you do with the $20,000?

With the $20,000 I would donate to different organizations. I’ve always had a calling to help and work with children that have special needs. I would donate a portion of the money to Autism/Special Needs organizations like Autism Speaks or Easterseals. At 9 years old, my mom was diagnosed and fought breast cancer. It impacted my family’s life. I would donate a portion of this money to organizations like the American Cancer Society and National Foundation for Cancer Research.
