Kaycee began dancing when she was | Kaycee began dancing when she was four in a half years old and began competing when she was five years old. Her mother founded "Dance Studio 13" in Simi Valley, where Kaycee grow up, when she was seven years old, to keep up with her basic training; and had to close it seven years later, at September 2016, for multiple reasons. Kaycee went daily strait after school to the studio for training. Sometimes until late into the evening when her mom was closing the studio. | ||
She is trained in various styles of dancing - ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, tumbling, acro and her strongest suits contemporary and hip-hop. Her favorite style was tap when she was younger,<ref>[http://youtu.be/h9NRGWsjHew Get To Know: Kaycee Rice]</ref> <ref>[http://youtu.be/vfQOmvluGd4 Kaycee Rice Interview July 2013]</ref> but It has changed to contemporary and hip-hop later. But she loves actually all styles of dancing and finds challenging to adapt on different styles. Her former partner [[Gabe De Guzman]] described: "She picks up choreography really quickly—and she can do any style of dance you throw at her." And DanceSpirit wrote: "Armed with limitless flexibility and a natural expressive quality, Kaycee carved out her place in the competition world as a versatile technical dancer." <ref>[http://www.dancespirit.com/teenage-mutants-2326732372.html Gabe De Guzman and Kaycee Rice Are a Stage Match Made in Hip-Hop Heaven]</ref> Her back flexibility combined with her without-first-sign spin and turn combinations with smooth transitions ending in accentuated fierce moves with not too much power became to a kind of trademark of her dance. Derek Hough, who was not used to watch Kaycee stated in The Duels round of World of Dance Season 2: "First of all, your back bend over there, the moment ... *showing move* ... the turn around, was sick, absolute stunning!" She made a stretching routine video, to show how she kept that flexibility. Gabe described her with "She's like Elastigirl from The Incredibles. She's that flexible." Her new partner Sean Lew stated: "She has no bones." <ref>[http://popcorntalknetwork.com/sean-lew-kaycee-rice-to-the-pointe-with-kristyn-burtt/ Sean Lew & Kaycee Rice To the Pointe with Kristyn Burtt]</ref> But actually he should know better after experiencing Weirdo's martial arts unplugged - she has a Blue Belt in Tae Kwon Do - during rehearsals of World of Dance by getting it twice in the testicles and one time straight in his head with her leg, of course accidentally. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UkcAIi72TU Sean Lew - "Bloppers" video - Behind the scene of World of Dance]</ref> Like most top professionals she has an incredible musicality. Everything is on time in a fraction of second with fierce accentuation, body language and face expression. | |||
According Tricia Miranda's rule "Stop dancing! Start performing!" she is going in class with the attitude, she is on stage and never is holding back. Weirdo is watching the mirror at minimum and gets full focus on the gyro camera in front of her. That's why on hundreds of videos she is performing looks like live-on-stage show cases and got up to 60M+ views at end of 2018. Soon people realizing that headlining new videos by "ft. Kaycee Rice" could be always good for a couple millions of additional hits. Those gave Kaycee world fame by name, way before her NBC World of Dance performances with Sean Lew and makes her a permanent viral phenomenon since end of 2016. And since they permanently working together as duet, they both doubled their individual popularity. | |||
In 2017, she was nominated for the Industry Dance Awards for favorite dancer 17 & under, together with [[Mackenzie Ziegler]], [[Kalani Hilliker]], [[Tate McRae]], [[Bailey Sok]] and the winner [[Nia Frazier]]. | In 2017, she was nominated for the Industry Dance Awards for favorite dancer 17 & under, together with [[Mackenzie Ziegler]], [[Kalani Hilliker]], [[Tate McRae]], [[Bailey Sok]] and the winner [[Nia Frazier]]. | ||

NBC had invited them to take the audition, after their "Monster" video on The Pulse on Tour went viral. But they were eliminated during Judgment Week. Judge Howie Mandel voted "No", because he felt Gabe was much better than Kaycee. He did not know that she had a broken foot <ref>[http://www.showstopper.vip/showstopper60-kayceerice/ Showstopper 60: Kaycee Rice]</ref>, because she did not tell. Otherwise she would not being allowed to perform on stage and had to let down Gabe. | ||
