Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

Iโ€™m a versatile dancer. My favorite styles are hip hop, house, sexy dance, heels, Latin rhythm, and street jazz. Iโ€™m all about expression through movement. Iโ€™m inspired by the power of dance... it makes us feel alive. My parents were my first teachers, and Michael Jackson became one of my Icons of Dance.

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

Dance has helped me find the person lost in the turmoil of my divorce last year, and being in Ciara's music video will help me start fresh and pursue my passion for dance. Through this I want to inspire others who are going through similar trials. Believe in yourself and don't allow hardship to get between you and your dreams.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I lived in Indianapolis for 4 years. During that time I discovered a lot of talent but few professional opportunities. I decided to do something about it and opened my own dance studio, bringing in professional choreographers and dancers to train and inspire new talent. If I win, I will use my knowledge and art to continue changing, expanding and educating dancers in the dance community in Indy
