Sam

I’m the next Dance Icon because dance is what my soul is made of. 5,6,7,8 and I’m ready to level up and bring everyone along for the ride!

Placed 9th

in the Semi-Finals

Thank you for supporting me in this competition. Your donations and participation will benefit the Why Not You Foundation in their mission to fight poverty through education initiatives that empower youth to lead with a why not you attitude.

 

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I love ALL styles of dance for what they each bring to the world. I gravitate toward contemporary, using movement where I don’t always have words. I also love the empowerment that comes with some sassy jazz!

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

Being in Ciara’s video would be fulfillment of a life-long dream at an age where I thought my glory days might be behind me. It would be the chance for me to shape the future narrative of what aging means for a dancer and to inspire anyone who still has that passion in them to let it out.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would put that $20,000 right into my tuition! I am starting a master’s program this summer to become a licensed mental health counselor. My ultimate goal is to infuse the power of dance and movement with the benefits of mental health therapy for a total mind-body approach. I’m ready for the challenge of supporting myself through this career pivot, and to be able to put that money toward school would be such a blessing and relief.
