"She had a natural flexibility that helped her reach the top of her age level quickly," said Alexa Moffett, Jaycee's dance teacher.

By the age of 9, Jaycee was winning national titles at dance competitions and was well-known in the dance community. Soon after, Jaycee began making television appearances on shows like Disney Channel's Shake It Up and NBC's America's Got Talent.

Jaycee and her friend from Club Dance, Dylynn Jones, participated in Disney Channel's Make Your Mark. Having won the televised competition, the two girls got to dance alongside Zendaya Coleman and Bella Thorne in a scene of Shake It Up.

In addition to this, Jaycee has also made several appearances on TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras.
