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 Dance Spirit 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 Incredible. 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 Kwan 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.

According Tricia Miranda's rule "Stop dancing! Start performing!" she is going into class with the attitude, she is on stage and never is holding back. Weirdo is watching the mirror to the minimum and gets full focus on the camera in front of her. That's why on hundreds of videos she is performing she looks like live-on-stage show casing and these videos got up to 60M+ views at the end of 2018. <ref>[https://youtu.be/RfEcfrJwOrw?t=83 JASON DERULO feat.

And since working together with Sean as duet, they both doubled their individual popularity. Dance Spirit wrote after an interview with her: "I don't feel like I'm a big star," she says. "I'm just a normal person, who loves what she does, and loves sharing it with the world."<ref>[https://www.dancespirit.com/8-dance-stars-doing-social-media-right-2622705386.html?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1 8 Dance Stars Doing Social Media Right]</ref> Humble to the last. But actually, especially in the hip-hop community, Kaycee is already a viral star. By quality of performing. By quantity and variety of dances. And by quality and quantity of getting attention. Kaycee and some other kid dancers are literally a big economical influence on many video editors by making compilation and reaction videos from other videos of or by her, and those increase her popularity again.

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]]. At the end of the year, statistically in 2017, she is shown on 6 of the top 50 (12%) most viewed first release dance videos published on YouTube in 2017. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5lCm9bMigQ Most Viewed Dance Videos Published In 2017 | Top 50 Videos Of 2017 Choreography]</ref>
