Jean-Luc Baker was introduced to ice skating by his parents in 1995. He was inspired to switch from singles to ice dancing by his mother. He teamed up with Joylyn Yang in the summer of 2006, with his parents coaching the duo. They won U.S. national titles on the juvenile and intermediate levels and took the novice bronze medal at the 2010 U.S. Championships. The following season, Yang/Baker were assigned to two ISU Junior Grand Prix events, finishing 7th in Japan and 10th in the Czech Republic.
