Bailey got online home schooled since she is in 10<sup>th</sup> grade due her missing time when was on The Pulse on Tour. She lost temporary her work permission by that, despite her good grades and decided to switch to home schooling. She is fine with that and appreciates the flexibility of school schedules.

Bailey is improving her dancing by taking more technical classes in ballet and contemporary as well. Her dance background is performing mostly hip-hop, lyrical, jazz and tap dancing and she got strongly influenced by her teacher and later team leader of S-Rank Melvin Timtim.
