Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

Growing up , I was always inspired by Ciara’s music, with my first choreographed routine being 1,2 step when I was just 5 years old. From that day forward I remember planning countless dance routine with my older sister, and we would perform at every family gathering. Later on we explored Latin music, and choreographed a flash mob for my grandmas 75th birthday party. I truly found my style while exploring different dance classes in high school and college and that’s hip hop<3

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be a dream come true. As I get older I found myself less willing to take risk and I feel like I need to take the safe route in my career, but an opportunity like this would allow me to pursue what I actually love which is dance and performing.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With 20,000 I would finally be able to pay my tuition and finish enrolling in my final semester of college. Due to financial obstacles, my graduation has been postponed by 3 semesters. With the extra money I would buy my mom a car, and help her restore the pipes in her home so she can have running water again.
