Bailey Harris is a dancer and choreographer born and raised in Austin, TX. She is currently a senior at Texas State University pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance and Choreography. She started her dance studies at the age of thirteen and was eager to learn everything. She began her training in contemporary, jazz, and drill team field dance styles. Throughout high school, she performed and choreographed a handful of solos and dance team pieces and taught many masterclasses.
During her time at Texas State, Bailey has furthered her dance training in modern, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, and dance improvisation. She has had various performance opportunities, including being a member of the pre-professional modern dance company “Merge” and dance festivals, including The American College Dance Association, 254DanceFest, and Small Plates Austin.
Before transferring to Texas State, she was studying psychology at Blinn College but soon realized her heart lies within dance choreography. Although psychology is not her main focus anymore, her choreographic approach blends movement and emotion, bringing out her dancers’ unique strengths. She hopes to inspire others with her unique movement style and vision.
To further her love and passion for dance, after graduation, Bailey plans to choreograph for various dance studios and dance teams. She has an optimistic outlook for the future opportunities that surface for her and is ready to share her passionate nature with others who resonate.
