“One of the hardest parts of touring is staying healthy.” Maycee Steele’s confession might sound familiar to many artists, especially considering the grueling pace she and her fellow dancers maintained while accompanying Tate McRae on the Think Later World Tour. With a sleepy smile, she reflects on sleep-deprived nights spent on a bus, the excitement of performing, and the elegant chaos of creation that comes with each new viral dance. Not just another girl from Kansas City, Steele has carved a niche for herself in the unforgiving world of commercial dance. The “Cuff It” challenge she co-created not only danced its way to social media fame but laid the groundwork for her future on stages lit by Hollywood’s brightest stars.

Having trained since the age of three, her background stretches from the competitive dance circuit to grand celebrations like the Oscars and Billboard Music Awards. Dancing beside giants like Doja Cat and Jennifer Lopez, Steele has seamlessly transitioned from ballet to electric performances that showcase both skill and charisma. Often seen as Tate’s anchor during their fast-paced choreography, she thrives in that synthesis of humor and artistry, illuminating a unique bond that pushes everyone to elevate their game.

Every moment on stage, every dance move, becomes an homage to her journey, from assisting legendary choreographers to developing her personal style. At once introspective and fiercely ambitious, Steele’s commitment to growth illustrates a mantra that resonates: be a chameleon. In an industry keen to typecast, she’s charting her own vibrant path, ensuring her younger self would beam with pride at the dazzling ride she’s on.
