10-Year-Old Girl’s Mature Dance Moves Land Her Professional Gig A 10-year-old Cali-born hip hop and ballet dancer who caught the eye of music industry popstress Katy Perry with a twerk-filled dance routine video has popped her way into Hollyweird. via L.A. Times 10-year-old Kaycee Rice has always been talented. But with one little tweet from pop princess Katy Perry to her 38 million followers, Kaycee has now become a fully-fledged internet sensation. Katy posted a video from YouTube of Kaycee at a dance competition doing her hip hop solo to “Werqin’ Girl” by Shangela Laquifa, writing: ‘!!!WeRk!!!’ ‘It’s pretty exciting. We still don’t know how Katy found Kaycee and we had no idea it was on Twitter until one of her little fans sent it to her, otherwise we would never have known.’ Some may say that Kaycee’s routine may be deemed a little provocative, but Mrs Rice said: ‘It’s the performance, she’s not taking it home with her. I don’t worry about the moves as Kaycee doesn’t have a thought about what they are. She’s innocent and she’s not putting two and two together. It’s her being her, it’s the way she moves and that’s just her dance.’ Check out the video below of Kaycee’s routine, where she’s seen wearing jean booty shorts and a crop top while putting a host of professionally trained female dancers double her age to shame. The dance routine was choreographed by Missy Elliot’s choreographer Tricia Miranda, who has since taken Kaycee under her wing and even gave her a gig performing with one of Missy’s artists.
