She ~~went to~~ San Diego Dance Centre ~~till~~ she was 11 to be on Lifetime’s Dance Moms, and ~~after her time there went~~ to ~~RT Dance Academy~~, ~~switched to Danceology Performing Arts Campus, then went~~ to Master Ballet Academy to ~~pursue separate training in ballet~~, ~~then took Rhythmic Gymnastics~~ at ~~Rhythmic Gymnastics School (~~in ~~which~~ she ~~still trains at today)~~,~~taught at PAVE School~~ of the ~~Arts~~, ~~and is now dancing and teaching at Dance Lab OC~~.

She started at San Diego Dance Centre when she was 2 years old until she was 11 to be on Lifetime’s Dance Moms. She is trained in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Ballroom, and Contemporary. Sophia moved to Scottsdale, Arizona at the age of twelve to train with Master Ballet Academy and later danced with the Phoenix Ballet and Ballet Arizona. A year later, Sophia and her dance partner, Jack Beckham, took home the Gold Medal at Varna IBC representing the USA. Being the youngest to compete at Varna IBC, she was awarded with a Special Bounty Partnership Award. Sophia and her partner went on and received a Silver and Gold Medal at YAGP nationals in New York City. After then she made her acting debut in Hallmark’s “A Nutcracker Christmas,” portraying a young ballerina with aspirations to become a prima ballerina. During her time filming, she continued to train and dance with the National Ballet of Canada. Since her young success in the Ballet industry, she’s had the honor to perform worldwide representing the USA as a Gold Medalist.

Sophia also ~~models for~~ California Kisses ~~dancewear~~.

She has earned several National Champion Dance Titles, such as The Dance Awards’s Junior Best Dancer. From a young age, she has been featured in numerous television shows such as ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ Disney’s hit show ‘Shake it Up,’ ‘X-Factor,’ Nickelodeon’s ‘Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn’ and ‘America’s Got Talent,’ plus several talk shows like ‘The Ellen Show’ and ‘The Ricki Lake Show,’ to name a few. She made her film debut in 2010 as child star icon, Shirley Temple in the Fox Legacy Movie “The Shirley Temple Story”. Sophia’s ability to not only captivate an audience with her artistry, but inspire others with her teaching style is truly profound. She has formed a passion for teaching over the last few years and has been all over the country teaching her technique method called RAFT. <ref>[https://www.joffreyballetschool.com/sophia-lucia/ Jofferey Ballet HP]</ref>

Sophia also had a clothing line with California Kisses Dance Wear and a partnership with Capezio.

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. Jackie later explained that they left the show because Sophia's grandfather was ill.

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~~. Also in 2016, Sophia began training and competing with Master Ballet Academy. In the summer of 2016, Sophia traveled to Varna, Bulgaria and competed at the Varna International Ballet competition~~.
