The young and incredible dancer was born Bailey Sokle on February 24, 2004 in California, United States. Korean-American, she was raised by her mother, Judie Sok, and a father whose name has remained elusive. She has two siblings – Britney Sok and Kylie Sok.
Growing up, Bailey developed a strange interest in dancing. It was an interest she developed from her two older sisters, who were also dancers. As a result, she was still in the studio with her mother waiting for them. Instead of leaving her, just three years old, to wait for the older ones, a studio manager asked her mother if she’d rather enroll her in a dance class. Her mother agreed and it marked the start of her journey to becoming a world famous dancer.
From that young age, Bailey Sok came to train in many dance styles and ended up loving them all, including hip hop. She trained under some of the best in the industry, including Molly Long, her childhood teacher, Matt Steffanina, and was mentored by the likes of multi-talented choreographer and director Brian Friedman.
