Bailey is a viral star and social media personality. Especially due her collaboration with Matt Steffanina and her friend Kaycee Rice she is featured on many videos with millions of hits.
In Feb 2019, she is featured on Matt's class routine by the video "TIP TOE - Jason Derulo ft French Montana Dance | Matt Steffanina ft Bailey" with 20M+ views and two more with about 10M+ views headlining her name. YouTube listed 19 videos with about 1M+ video featuring her name and many more without. Bailey contributed also with her team mates Ellen Kim, Stevie Doré and Eileen Harman as professional dancers the matrix for the official music video of the e-sports game "League of Legends" which 173M+ views in 3.5 months and the behind-the-scene dance of them 7M+ views. [1][2] She has 850K+ followers on Instagram and 140K+ subscribers on YouTube.
She performed on season 9 of America's Got Talent with her group Buns & Roses, but they had withdrawn during judgement week for performing on a dance competition. [3][4][5] In 2018, she competed with S-Rank in season two of NBC's World of Dance in the Upper Team division with just 13 years old at show beginning and they made it the world final and she was featured on a small clip by NBC in a interview. Bailey was an interview guest on Dance Network's To the Pointe and Showstopper, but beyond the internet, she didn't get public eye by her own name yet.
She started dancing when she was 2.5-3 years old, because her sisters used to dance. Her mother got the offer in her first dance class for Bailey's siblings "Pay for two kids and you get for one for free." and she made the deal and shoved Bailey to the pack. Bailey was first on stage when she was 5 years old, took her first industrial classes at the age of 6 by Matt Steffanina and started competing at the age of 10. She met her best friend Kaycee Rice first time in Tricia Miranda's class when they were performing "Anaconda" when she was 10; 40M+ views at Feb 2018.[6] She was a competitive dancer for Dance Precisions before she moved to Just Plain Dancin'.
Her older sisters stopped competing and start a career as golfers and went to sports college for it. Bailey plays golf as well and is has became her second passion. She got sometimes a good deal on course; exchanging pro golfers versus pro dancers secrets.
Bailey got online home schooled since she is in 8th grade due her missing time when was on The Pulse on Tour. She lost her work permission by that during summer time, despite her good grades and decided to switch to home schooling. She wants to go to college, but had in December 2018 no plans about occupation. She takes classes in acting and vocal training as well. She also started taking more technical classes in ballet and contemporary. Her background was hip-hop dancing most of the time and she got strongly influenced by her teacher and later her lead leader of S-Rank Melvin Timtim.
In 2017, she was nominated for the Industry Dance Awards for favorite dancer 17 & under, together with Mackenzie Ziegler, Kalani Hilliker, Tate McRae, Kaycee Rice and the winner Nia Frazier.
