Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!

The first cut is on Thursday the 13th of February at 7PM PST

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I mostly do cover dances to Kpop songs, but I also love to freestyle and have fun with my dancing. Michael Jackson was the reason I began dancing at age four, and since then, I've learned by imitating my favorite performers.

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

It would not only help me improve my dancing skills, but also be a big deal for me since I'm an aspiring performer! Hopefully doing so would allow me to discover new and exciting opportunities for my dreams. Also I love some of the songs Ciara did in my childhood, so it would mean a lot to collaborate with one of the artists I grew up listening to.

What would you do with the $20,000?

First and foremost I would pay off medical bills, and, if there's enough left, use some for a concert trip to see Stray Kids, my favorite band, and then save the rest to put towards paying off student loans for my college in the future.

8 Dancers

And One Big Break!

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!
