I’ve loved dancing all my life, I went from watching music videos and teaching myself to dance, to teach master classes and training in LA.

I grew up watching Ciara, Usher, and Michael Jackson music videos and would teach myself how to dance by copying the moves on the screen. I loved their style and confidence, and it inspired my love for hip hop dancing. In college, I became a dance instructor and captain of my schools dance team and I went on to train in LA for a while afterwards.
It would be a full circle dream come true moment. Being Ciara’s video now after growing up learning how to dance from watching her music videos would be an unexplainable feeling. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of doing and it would mean so much to me as a dancer that my life would never be the same.
I would use the $20,000 to not only help support my family, but also to save for the future and help me pursue my dreams. I used to be stationed in California as a United States Marine and have wished to move back to California to chase my dreams in the dance and entertainment industry. I’ve served my country but this year I believe it’s time to invest in myself and my family.
