Truthfully, my passion I started dance really late in life, but have done so much in such a little time I’ve danced for the NBA and more.

My dance style is Hip Hop. I learned how to dance on my own watching videos. Then I found the NBA Cavs who helped me develop more skills like popping, waving, krump and BBoying.
I would feel joyful. Why, you ask? When I was younger and first started dancing, my very first performance at middle school was to “1, 2 Step” by Ciara. I always dreamed of dancing with artists like Usher, Ciara, Chris Brown, and Missy Elliott. While I know it may never happen, Michael Jackson was also one of my biggest inspirations. If my childhood dream were to come true, I would feel so proud and fulfilled.
I would put some towards a dance studio for my students. We currently dance at a rec center and would love to get them a home and secondly bring out a instructor like Paris from royal family Ian Eastwood, Brian Puspos or even Tim Melvin to teach a work shop for them.
