In last years she developed more and more a passion for teaching. For any ages and on any levels, from bloody beginners to master students and has been all over the country teaching her technique method called RAFT for turns - '''R'''ectangle (shoulder-shoulder-hip-hip-), '''A'''rch (highest evaluation 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 because she would make some kids nervous that they had withdrawn before they even entered the stage.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 last years she developed more and more a passion for teaching.

In 2017, she started experienced the more unpleasant 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 came bursting 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, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAai_wcQH3k including this big one].

Many girls when going into puberty they get a little chubby just by hormonal imbalance without changing any eating or activity habits, and it normalizes within one or two years, except they got bullied and start feeding because they are depressed now. So the MDA and others forced her to do constantly some diet just for training despite her nature. This bullshit happens often in the dance industry. The working atmosphere stayed tense so that Soph felt like she met [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHxf17yJsKs Gunnery Sergeant Hartman] and she wanted to quite pro dancing at all.

In 2019, she described herself as a loner yet. 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.
