Sofia got homeschooled since class one, got her highschool diploma and went first to a community college for the next two years, because she was only 16 when she graduated and not ready to live by herself in New York yet, before she has finally transfered to a four-years university, when is was 18.

Sophia spent a short time at the beginning of the 2012-2013 competition season competing with the Abby Lee Dance Company, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While there, Sophia filmed several episodes of ''Dance Moms'' season 3. On the show, she was featured as a member of the ALDC's junior elite competition team, as well as the ALDC replacement team. However, this only lasted for a few episodes before Sophia and her mother went back home to compete with San Diego Dance Centre again, because her grandfather had a heart attack with 70 and the family wants to be with him, and her mom felt also that the development of the story line on season three could gave her daugther a negative image. But Sophie herself didn*t and had just positive memories.

In January 2016, Sophia auditioned for ''So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation''. Her appearance was televised on the show's season premiere. She made it past the audition stage but did not get past the Academy round, as [[Ruby Castro]] was chosen over her.

As of July 2022, Sofia has 1.4M+ Instagram followers.

*As of July 2022, Sophia has a boyfriend. They had their second anniversary at end of June.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZrUMLv8eS/ Sophia`s IG]</ref> He is a dance instructor.

*Sophia completed her first pirouette when she was 4. Completed 4 in row when she was 5, and kept going on. In 2020, she got asked, if she can do world record again these days. She answered, she could, but it would hurt her. When she was training to break the world record she was turn so fast and so much on daily basis that she started to break blood vessels in her hands. Her hands would turn purple, swell and itch if she tried to turn that fast now. She said for pireouttes it`s all about physics and science - spot and momentum. Still these days she can do 8-9 pirouettes on call without moving a muscle in her face. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yntcoPCc_So Can Sophia Lucia still do her 55 turns?]</ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1M1OXI0i1k Sophia Lucia Interview at her Guinness World Record Celebration]</ref>
