Become a Star
Shelby Bain started her career as a dancer, and her appearances at a number of notable occasions helped her land gigs performing on television. She did, however, make her acting debut as Scarlett in the 2011 horror movie “Wretched,” which was produced by students at Humber College. She was eight or nine years old when the short film was filmed, but she took a break from acting to concentrate on competitive dancing. She made her debut on television in 2012 when she danced as a Munchkin in the CBC miniseries “Over the Rainbow.”
When she was about 13 years old, she returned to acting and starred as a ballet dancer and student in the 2014 direct-to-DVD movie “Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight,” the eighth movie in the “American Girl” film series. After making an appearance as Morgan in the 2016 short film “Withheld,” she was cast in her breakthrough role as Amy, a dancer with Dance Inc., in the reality-style drama series “The Next Step” on Family Channel. In three seasons, from 2016 to 2018, she appeared in 68 episodes in a recurrent role. She also had a minor role in the 2016 season of “Backstage,” a Family Channel program.
