Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have been trained in modern and hip-hop styles mostly, but I live to try all new styles of dance. I am inspired by all other dancers who are open to all dance genres.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would help me get a shot in my dance career. I love Ciara's music videos and how all of her choreography and video ideas are ultimately unique to her. Dance is my life, and I say that with pride. It's all I know, and I love it so much; it brings me so much joy. My dream is to be a professional dancer, and I feel that this opportunity would put a broader look and push start to that journey of mine.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With 20,000, I would probably give it to my aunt and mother. I’d keep a bit for myself, but they’ve done so much in my life, and they deserve the majority of that money for the support they’ve given me in my dream of being a dancer and receiving this huge opportunity.

8 Dancers

And One Big Break!
