Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
My dance style blends street dance forms like hip-hop, waacking, tutting, and street jazz with the precision of studio technical training in ballet, jazz, and poms. I’m inspired by music’s rhythm and emotion, creating movement that tells a story while showcasing versatility. Whether sharp, intricate isolations or fluid, expressive grooves, I aim to connect with the audience and the beat, letting my individuality shine through every performance.
Being in Ciara's music video would be a dream come true, as she’s one of my all-time favorite artists and a huge inspiration. This opportunity would elevate my career, showcase my unique blend of dance styles, and allow me to contribute to an iconic project. It would also be a powerful moment for my two young daughters, inspiring them to dream big and pursue their passions, leaving an impact on them that would last a lifetime.
With the $20,000 prize, I’d take steps to further my career by pursuing advanced training, developing unique projects, and exploring collaborations. I’d also invest in my daughters, helping them explore their passions and inspiring them with the value of hard work and determination. Additionally, I’d contribute to the dance community through teaching and mentorship.
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!
