Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I train in all styles of dance but my specialties are hip-hop, Jazz, and Musical Theatre. I’m flexible and have a sassy, hard hitting, hood style but I can also be technical using my training in pointe. Some of my biggest inspirations in dance are Michael and Janet Jackson, Debbie Allen, Phil Wright, Chris Brown, and of course Ciara! I’m also inspired by kids who have a love for dance and want to show other young girls like me that they can do anything regardless of their financial s

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

I moved to LA to train in school and become a professional dancer. Dancing in Ciara’s music video will give me a larger platform and kickstart my career as a dancer. I would film my process and experience and post it on my social media to inspire, and encourage others to work hard and keep going. This overall, would be an experience that I use to push not only myself forward but others as well.

What would you do with the $20,000?

My $20,000 would go towards starting my own non-profit for kids in the DMV who love dance but don’t have the money to train as a dancer. In this program we would fund dance conventions, travel, classes, and show tickets for young kids who want to become professional dancers. As a dancer from the DMV I longed for a program like these and have had this dream since I was in elementary school. Being able to put this dream into action would not only bring me joy but help other kids as well.
