I’m the next dance icon because it’s been my passion for forever. One day I want to be able to show the world what I’m capable of.
Help me compete to become the Dance Icon and appear in a music video with Ciara and win $20,000!
I don't adhere to a single dance style, as I have a deep appreciation for all genres of dance. My journey began in high school, and now as a college dancer, I’ve honed my focus on majorette. While I have a strong passion for it, I am also eager to expand my versatility and explore other styles. I believe that in order to inspire and effectively teach others, I must continue to evolve and not remain limited to one style. My inspiration comes from any dancer who has paved their own path.
Being featured in Ciara’s music video would have a profound impact on my life, opening doors in the dance world that I never imagined possible on my own. It’s a dream I’ve shared with my high school dance coaches, telling them that one day they’ll see me on someone’s TV screen. I hope that day arrives sooner rather than later.
If I were to receive $20,000, my first priority would be to pay off my car. After that, I would likely save the remaining amount until I find a strategic way to invest it, or until I graduate college and can use it to support the next phase of my dance journey.
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!
