Bailey is a social media personality and a viral star. Especially due her collaboration with Matt Steffanina and her friend Kaycee Rice, she is featured on many videos with millions of hits by name.
She performed on season 9 of America's Got Talent with her group Buns & Roses, but they had withdrawn during judgement week for performing on a dance competition. [1][2][3] In 2018, she competed with S-Rank in season two of NBC's World of Dance in the Upper Team division between the adults with just 13 years old at show beginning and they made it the world final. Bailey was an interview guest on Dance Network's To the Pointe [4] 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 free." and she shoved Bailey to the group. Her first class was tap dancing. Bailey was first on stage when she was five years old, took her first industrial classes at the age of six and started competing at the age of six. She met her best friend Kaycee Rice first time in Tricia Miranda's class when they were performing "Anaconda" at the age of ten; this video passed 40M+ views at Feb 2019.[5] She was a competitive dancer for Dance Precisions before she moved to Just Plain Dancin'.
Bailey got online home schooled since she is in 8th 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. She wants to go to college, but had in December 2018 no plans about her occupation later. She is currently taking classes in acting and vocal training. Bailey is improving her dancing by taking more technical classes in ballet and contemporary as well. Her dance background is performing mostly hip-hop and jazz dancing and she got strongly influenced by her teacher and later team leader of S-Rank Melvin Timtim.
Her older sisters stopped competing and started a career as professional golfers and go to a sports college for it. Bailey plays golf too, since she was five and it has become her second passion. Sometimes she got a good deal on the course; exchanging pro golfers versus pro dancers secrets.
In Feb 2019, Bailey danced on one of Matt's class routines on a video with 20M+ views and two more videos with about 10M+ headlining her name. YouTube listed about 20 videos with 1M+ views featuring her name and many more without she is is performing on it. Bailey contributed also with her team of professional dancers - Ellen Kim, Stevie Doré and Eileen Harman - the matrix as dancing heroes for the official music video of the e-sports game "League of Legends" with 173M+ views and the behind-the-scene dance video by them within 7M+ views within 3.5 months. [6][7] Bailey has 850K+ followers on Instagram and 140K+ subscribers on YouTube.
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.
