What is Miranda Derrick’s net worth?

Introduction

Miranda Derrick is an American dancer, professional choreographer, and social media star.

She is a member of the dance management group 7M, which helps promote her content on TikTok and Instagram.

The Origin Story

Miranda Derrick was born Miranda Wilking on February 24, 1997, in Michigan, United States.

She grew up alongside her younger sister, Melanie Wilking, with whom she was very close.

From a young age, she was drawn to dancing, so she enrolled in dance classes through school and private lessons starting at age two.

Her interest in dance was broad, so she took lessons in a variety of different types, which helped hone her skill, and eventually led her down a path of taking it professionally.

When it became apparent that she had innate dancing skills, she enrolled in a private dance school, in addition to her other dance lessons.

In addition to her love for dance, she was also very studious.

As such, she attended the University of Michigan.

She competed in many local dance competitions throughout her time in school, many of which she came in the first place.

Miranda knew she wanted to showcase her talent to the world, and the best outlet would be through YouTube.

As most aspiring entertainers do, she reported to the most obvious outlet, YouTube.

Her account was created under the name “Walking Sisters” and went live on July 14, 2010.

She shared the account with her younger sister Melanie, who appears to also be a dancer.

The sister-due began posting videos of them auditioning and clips of their dance competitions.

She danced for endless theatrical dance shows, including “Peter Pan,” “Hamilton,” and the song “Unchained Melody.” The short videos captured the interest of thousands of viewers, which helped the channel grow significantly.

The YouTube page eventually turned into a lifestyle vlog where they often showcase their parents, cooking videos, beauty, and fashion.

In 2014, the dancing sisters created an account on the app, “Musical.ly,” which is designed to allow users to create and share lip-syncing videos.

They were inspired to start posting videos since it would allow them to incorporate their talented dance moves into their content.

Which would ultimately help build their brand as aspiring professional dancers.

Instagram

Miranda has a significant Instagram following and has earned the title of Instagram Influencer.

Over the years, her page grew to over 1.4 million followers, and many big brands, such as Astoria Activewear follow her.

Her content has incredibly high user engagement, with most of her posts acquiring tens of thousands of likes and comments.

Most of her photos and videos are used as promotional tools for her dancing career and include many other famous dancers.

Family

Despite all the great accomplishments she has achieved from an incredibly young age, and the very close twin-like relationship she had with her younger sister Melanie, there have been some very turbulent times and stories that have been going viral since 2020.

At that time, the sisters stopped posting dancing videos together, and they grew apart, which was completely out of character since they were always stuck at the hip since they were babies.

The distance turned into a complete separation for over one year, and the Wilking family became desperate to know what had happened to Miranda.

To clear the air and seek support from the public, her parents and sister took to Instagram on Miranda’s birthday, February 24, 2022, to address the speculative stories that have been growing rampant.

“Miranda is part of a religious group, and she is not allowed to speak to us. They tried to get me involved. I did go. I did like it at first. Then I realized that there were numerous red flags that I could not ignore and knew that it’s not something that I wanted to be involved in.”

Melanie and her parents went on to publicly state the name of the religious dance group they believe their sister has been held hostage by, and it goes by the name 7M Films.

Miranda and her now-husband, James Derrick, aka BDash, who is also a professional dancer, signed with the company in 2020.

It has been noted that 7M Films is an extension of the Pentecostal Church and because Churches are protected at State and Federal levels, the Wilking family has been turned down repeatedly when they sought legal advice.

Since the video went viral, many news outlets covered the story and even attempted to reach out to 7M to hear their side of the story.

The Rolling Stones spoke briefly with the dance management company’s lawyer, who unequivocally denied such allegations that “7M is a religious cult holding dancers hostage in Los Angeles.”

Aside from this, there is no other information that has been acquired, and the Wilking family is left with more questions than they have answers to.

The family tension appeared the be getting out of control, and Miranda felt it unnecessary for her family to use social media to make a family matter public.

As such, she took to social media to put an end to the “lies and speculation.”

She created an Instagram account under the username “Wilkingsisters2,” where she and her husband BDash told their side of the story, which essentially was a denial of all the allegations.

Since the video went live, no other details have emerged.
