Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have experience in various styles of dance, however I would say I’m most comfortable with hip hop. Dancers such as Alvin Ailey, Jojo Gomez, Paris Goebel, and Galen Hooks are some of my dance inspirations. I also attribute a lot of my inspiration for dance to my high school dance coach who was a huge part of honing the dancer I am today.

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

It would be a huge honor to do what I love at such a grand scale. I think it would be an amazing opportunity for me to go all out and put my heart out there and connect with other fellow dancers.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would use the money to help retire my mom and contribute towards her buying her first home. I plan to also use it to help me pay off my car and start a savings account for graduate school in which I plan to get my masters.

8 Dancers
