Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
My dance style is 'Organic,' blending Cecchetti, Graham, & Release. Influenced by Cho Yi, Yaniv Abraham, & Jeanne Travers, I emphasize curved spines & cross-lateral initiation. Inspired by Trisha Brown, Robert Moses, John Cage, & Michael Wall, my style explores the dynamic between choreographed & improvised movement. I utilize Contact Improvisation to create structured & spontaneous experiences.
Being in Ciara's music video would be a dream come true. She inspired me to dance as a young person. Sharing the stage with her would be an incredible validation, a confirmation that I made the right choice in pursuing dance as a career. This experience would fuel my artistic growth and inspire me to continue pushing boundaries. Dancing with Ciara would be an unforgettable and life-changing opportunity.
This $20,000 would be life-changing. I'd invest in my future by building a substantial savings account, providing much-needed financial security. I would also use this opportunity to give back to my community by establishing an artist space in Orlando, FL. This space would nurture aspiring dancers and creatives, providing affordable studio space and mentorship. By supporting the next generation, I hope to contribute to a vibrant arts scene in my hometown.
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!
