Being in Ciara’s music video would be a career-defining moment, shaping my trajectory in the entertainment industry while offering immense personal growth and exposure. It would give me the chance to showcase my talents to the world, align myself with my favorite cultural icon, and pave the way for even greater accomplishments in the future. This is an opportunity of a lifetime!
With $20,000 I would finally open my boutique that I’ve been trying to open, invest in some stocks and CDs for my 3 children and their college funds, and put down payment for a land loan to build a home from the ground up which has also been a big dream of mine.

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!
