Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I am bold & feminine w/ intricate musicality - my energy jumps off the stage! I bring various styles into my movement but am most passionate about vogue, jazz & hip hop. The Commercial Dance program @ Boston Conservatory has allowed me to work with & learn from some of my biggest inspirations like Anthony Burrell. Parris Goebel's choreo for Ciara's "Level Up" first piqued my interest in exploring my own choreo style & I've wanted to be a backup dancer ever since.

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

This would fulfill a lifelong dream for me! Since I was 8, I dedicated myself to pursuing dance & choreography. Dancing alongside Ciara & showcasing my passion for performance would be the ultimate combo of my style, passion, work ethic & determination. This once in a lifetime chance will hopefully launch my career where I can one day be successful enough to follow and honor Ciara's generosity by offering up & coming dancers a similar opportunity to bring their dreams to reality!

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would put aside a year's worth of living expenses so I can focus my time and energy on pursuing my professional dance and choreography goals after I graduate college. Also, I would start a scholarship fund at the local studio I grew up dancing at to empower and inspire dancers applying for college to believe in their dreams and pursue their passion through a degree in Fine Arts.
