Destined 2 Dance & Oakland School for the arts.

What inspires you?

As a dancer, what inspires me most are my life experiences. I feel like dance has always been my outlet, something I’ve used to persevere through life challenges, and it’s always been a source of hope for me. Whenever I get in the studio or perform onstage, I express all the emotions we feel as humans and hope that it resonates with someone watching.

Describe yourself in three words.

Spontaneous. Passionate. Empathetic.

Tell us a fun fact about you.

Kehlani had a surprise concert at my high school.

What does it mean to be a part of USC Kaufman?

It means getting to explore new avenues of my artistry along with an incredibly talented dance community; at the school of my dreams!
