Charlize has been dancing and taking dance classes since she was two years old, aimed a professional carrier very soon and is standing in front line of professional dancers of the new generation ever since.
Beginning at 2008, at the age of six, she appeared on America Got's Talent and in 2010 on the BET Awards. In 2011, she got public eye by many events, such as, the MTV Video Music Awards, the finals of The Voice as guest, on series The Fresh Beat Band and So You Think You Can Dance. In 2012, she had been runner-up with her crew 8 Flavahz on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, and last-not-least, Beyoncé herself shared a video of the then–12-year-old dancer performing to "Yoncé" on Instagram, along with a simple caption: "WOW!"[1] In 2014, the got the lead role on the short film Playground Politix. A year later she performing on the TV broadcast with most watchers in American history, 120 millions plus 80,000 in the arena, the 2015 Super Bowl XLIX halftime show, side-by-side with Katy Perry and Missy Elliott.
When she joined The Pulse on Tour on season 2014/2015 as Elite Protégé at the age of 12 she has had already a thumb thick productive and professional record in bag, despite the fact that this education was designed to get those afterwards.
She formed a close friendship to the currently world's most prominent kid dancer Maddie Ziegler at the Radix convention in 2016 and both are working permanently together as duet on many occasions.
Charlize visited a private school at the beginning, but due the schedule burdens of her dance carreer she switched partially to homeschooling and never liked it. She stated the working effort and self-discipline to keep on track to the end of the semester is unpleasant for her. Her grades in actual school are much better and it is get harder to keep in contact to her school friends.
Her parents live separated and she lives with her mom, but she has permanent and good relationship with her father. She got her black lion's mane - her thick curly hair - she is famous for and is giving her that charismatic look by him. She described her mom as her biggest inspiration and gives her a lot of credit, because she is taking good care of her, despite her own extensive working time. She spends a lot of time with her friends as well, including her four and counting cats. She is obsessed with cats. Although Charlize is a fierce monster on stage, is used to stand in front of the crowd, her strong appearance and that she is a cool, eloquent and straight forward shooter in interviews, in private she quite the opposite. She has some phobias and doesn't feel comfortable surrounded by people she doesn't know. She appreciates her privacy and wants to retreat from public after the show. One of her favorite moments with Maddie, she was running away with Maddie Ziegler at a convention from Maddie's fans, who were rushing to them. Privacy?! - So be it!

In 2018, she was nominated for the Industry Dance Awards 2018 for most fierce dancer under 18, together with Kaycee Rice, Sean Lew JT Church and the winner Eva Igo.
In 2019, it got public that she will perform on season three of NBC's World of Dance with her new partner Julian DeGuzman.
