After relocating to Colorado, she continued her education at the International Ballet School under esteemed instructors and attended prestigious summer intensives, including The Jillana School in Taos, NM, and American Ballet Theatre in NYC. Bailey earned a BA in Dance from Colorado State University, where she performed notable soloist roles in The Nutcracker, Don Quixote, Pas de Quatre, and Chopiniana. She was also featured in works by guest artists and toured statewide with the CSU Tour Dance Company.
After graduation, Bailey joined IMPACT Dance Company under Judy Bejarano, where she originated numerous roles, including her acclaimed portrayal of Frida. She later danced with Third Law Dance/Theatre in Boulder, CO, under Katie Elliot, performing in various festivals and productions until the pandemic.

Before relocating to Santa Fe, Bailey taught ballet and barre fitness in northern Colorado. In 2020, she joined NDI New Mexico as a full-time Artistic Associate, teaching in the Dance Barns afterschool program and mentoring the advanced youth companies. Currently, Bailey serves as the Marketing Manager at the Lensic Performing Arts Center while continuing her passion for dance by teaching in the Contempora summer programs and offering adult community classes at NMSA.
