Ronad Mitchell

I believe that I’m the next dance icon because dance is a gift from God that I use to encourage, motivate, inspire and uplift others.

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My style is a blend of hip hop, praise dance, mime, krump, & contemporary. Growing up, I was inspired by artists like *NSYNC, Usher, & Michael Jackson. I taught myself how to dance by mimicking their moves. In my teens, I joined my church’s dance team and helped choreograph performances. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which limited my movement but my passion and faith pushed me to keep going. Dance is more than just a hobby for me—it's a way to overcome

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

I’ve always wanted to work with Ciara especially since the last time that she hosted auditions for background dancers for her tour many years ago in Los Angeles. Ciara is a worldwide icon, efficient in so many areas, and I would love to have the opportunity to work with & learn from her. I’ve never been in a music video before, so this would be huge for me. I believe this experience would grow my character & enhance my expertise in entertainment.

What would you do with the $20,000?

The first thing I would do with the $20,000 is give my tithe to God at my local church. Secondly, I would take care of my wife and children and our household needs. I have a huge heart for those who are homeless in our city and abroad, so I would also put money towards getting food, drinks, clothing and other supplies to give to them. I’ve always wanted to open my own dance studio to provide a place for people to come, not just to dance but to be encouraged & know they are valued.
