Did You Know Sofia Wylie Was a Backup Dancer For Justin Bieber?!

Sofia Wylie is serving a LOOK for Prune magazine’s November issue.

The Andi Mack actress and dancer opened up about her start in Hollywood, starting out as a dancer (she even danced on Justin Bieber‘s Purpose World Tour!), and finding her way into acting.

“My love for dancing started at a really young age,” Sofia told the mag. “I was 7 years old when I first started dance classes once a week at Arizona Dance Artistry in Phoenix Arizona. Early on most of my dancing happened in my living room where I would dance for my family everyday for hours on end! I joined a competitive dance studio called Diverse Elements, there I danced regularly each day for 5-6 hours per day in all styles of dance and really advanced in my training! It’s really where I got my start.”

“After a few years I got an agent and began to travel to Los Angeles performing in larger venues, booking commercial and TV shows as a background dancer,” she continued. “After performing on a few TV shows I started to notice the actors and quickly realized that acting is what I really wanted to do with my life… I could see how much fun the actors were having on set. After one of my first acting auditions I got a call back from one of the top casting directors who recognized me from one of my dance videos online and wanted me to come back for a TV show!! So I guess I can say my dancing career gave me the key to entering into the amazing world of Hollywood and it’s has been the best experience.”
