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 last years she developed more and more a passion for teaching. For any ages and on any levels, from bloody beginners to masterstudents and has been all over the country teaching her technique method called RAFT for turns - '''R'''ectangle (shoulder-shoulder-hip-hip-), '''A'''rch (highest evaludation when on arch), '''F'''ocus (of own eyes) and '''T'''ight (keep tight with rectangle, arch and focus on body when moving).<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfQd1mH99F/?hl=en Sophia IG RAFT]</ref>  She posted a lot of her private lessons with kids on her instagram account. She is really good with kids and asked them the most important question: ''"Where is your confidence?"'' - End of 2016 Sophie stopped competing, the official reasons were, after she got pro at such a young age and competed for everything a dancer could compete for and won so many dance titles she cannot gain much more by still competing. Some owners and promoters asked her also not to compete. because she would make some kids nervous, so that they had withdrawn before they even entered the stage. - ''Hey, where is your confidence? You grow with the challenge.'' - At least in dancing Soph is a role model for that.

In 2017, she experienced the more uncomfortable side of being famous, like many young dance superstars when they are praised to the stratosphere and then struggling for oxygen, because nothing has remaining substance. They value of fame is what is left on daily basis in her booking schedule as return and Soph experienced often that the old, used sources went dry due her fame, while potentially new opportunities bursted like bubbles - the typical pro dancers life. So she started teaching kids and it gave her some stability by doing some routine, and of course, the kids lionizing her. Then some people around her got envious, mean and used their elbows, while other abused her for egoistic reasons, so that Soph resumed at the end; not many true friends are left and spent most of her freetime by watching TV series and movies. Then she constantly put herself under pressure being number one, fast and first in anything; getting caught a couple times by showing off were just indications. She knows, she is material become one day principal dancer in a famous ballet company, but somehow it stagnates, and then the US Ballet Officials appeared to ask her representing the US worldwide. Additionally her puberty problems to become a woman. In consequence, Sophie got more and more depressed and got some weight in the meantime. But it finally ended at all with her boyfriend. As of August 2022, Soph doesn`t look like she is a busily student at the NYU yet. But she spared already two years by being in the fast lane since she was ten. Currently she spends her time between her three lifes - being a dance teacher, her personal career mostly as dancer and model, and enjoying her youth with family and friends with money on her bank account by doing what she loves. So what is wrong with that?
