Line 28:

She started at San Diego Dance Centre when she was 2 years old until she was 11 to be one day on Lifetime’s ''Dance Moms'' show. 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.

She did ~~comercials~~, such as, for ~~McDonalds~~<ref>[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2t91zy Sophia Lucia in Monster High McDonald's Commercial]</ref>, Old Navy<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ABPgy7Exw Sophs Old Navy Commercial]</ref>, Party City and some promos for the ~~Sherley~~ Temple and A Nutcracker Christmas movies she was featured.

In 2016, Sophia helped her dance partner [https://www.instagram.com/wmjack_beckham/ William Jackson Beckham], a promising young dancer for the Sylvia Company, Japan, 16 at that time, out of competition - because she was under age limits form 15 to 19 (reg 1.2, because under 15 she violates the Bulgarian (EU) child labor laws; it`s death serious pro in Varna) and competitors may participate also with a partner who is not a competitor at all, when they perform a pas-de-deux or contemporary choreography where more than one performer is required (reg 1.7) <ref>[https://varna-ibc.org/competition/regulations/ Varna IBC regulations]</ref> - at her age of 13 took him home the Gold Medal and the First Class Distinction Diploma in Junior Division <ref>[http://balletfederation.com/?p=912&lang=en IBFC - We are proud to announce the winners of the XXVII International Ballet Competition – Varna]</ref> ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZN0NU0HJ9M first dance], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVZgAzWiAQA second dance], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW2MPOGcue8 third dance], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYAj5T7BDww fourth dance], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyKJQ7DIYDk fifth dance]) at [https://varna-ibc.org/ XXVI. Varna IBC 2016] and were representing the USA. They had trained and rehearsed about 8 months fulltime for this event. But being the youngest performing at Varna IBC, she was awarded with a Special Bounty Partnership Award.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxz6fl1NYqE Awards to Sophia Lucia and William Jackson Beckham @VARNA IBC 2016]</ref> Afterwards, Soph is considering herself a professional dancer. Jack won also the “Promising Young Dancer” award in Varna. As of 2018, he was promoted to main company at the Tusla Ballet in Oklahoma. <ref>[https://tulsaballet.org/company/dancers/william-jackson-beckham/ Tusla ballet JP Jack Beckham]</ref> Sadly he quited pro ballet dance later; maybe due injuries. To understand, the Varna IBC is considered as the "Olympics of Professional Ballet and Contemporary Dancing", it was the very first professional ballet competition, which is hold every two years since 1964 (2020 was an exception due Coronavirus and lack of sponsorship). About 40 countries send up 150 of their most promising young dancers to the Bulgarian city. The faculty of Varna IBC are members of the best experts around the globe and also known as the toughest judges you can ever get, and because Ballet is an academic field in many countries, a lot have a professorship as well. So the Junior Winners don`t just win a medal, they get strait a First and Second Class Distinction Diploma. It´s like ''`how to get a college degree summa cum laude within 15 days`''. The most prestigious Ballet companies and theaters on the world request the winners become a member in their ensembles, because many winners of the Varna IBC, such as, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Natalia Makarova, Sylvie Guillem, Vladimir Vasiliev, Natalia Bessmertnova, Patrick Dupont, Yassen Valchanov, Vladimir Derevyanko, Farukh Ruzimatov, Alla Mikhalchenko etc, became the world`s best and finest ballet dancers at their times. And to give outsiders a feeling how Ballet is rated. If you ask any pro dancers around the world about their open top 10 list of the best dancers of all time, the structure is always the same: Nine from Ballet plus Michael Jackson.

She also had a clothing line with ''California Kisses Dance Wear'' and a partnership with ''Capezio''. In last years she modeled many times. Of course, the beauty looks great in everything, and hot!<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNtFfiKhkV/?hl=en Sophia's IG Fashion 2022]</ref> She has merchandise lines with different business partners for clothing now.

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. Producers asked her for years and her mom wanted them to stop calling so they finally did the show but left because they didn’t want to be locked into a contract. 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 daughter a negative image and development and didn*t like the environment of the show. But Sophie herself didn't and had just positive memories. She loved her time at dance moms and Abby and the other kids were really sweet and welcoming her. Sophia stayed in contact with [[Maddie Ziegler]], [[Nia Frazier]], [[Kalani Hilliker]] and [[JoJo Siwa]] and became a good friend with Maddie. She said that Abby was one of the kindest, warm hearted people she ever met and she still comments on her Instagram posts.

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?"''

Line 54:

Since 2015, she started experiencing 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]. Then some people around her got envious, mean and used their elbows, while other used her for egoistic reasons, so that Soph resumed at the end; not many true friends are left and spent most of her free time by reading books, watching TV series and movies. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BdYdJYCgKV6/ Sophs IG hell 2017 year]</ref> In 2019, she described herself as a loner yet.

But she experienced already some unpleasant mobbing at the Master Ballet Academy (MBA), because she got some weight and the males were too weak to lift her and gave her mean nicks. She was in Ballet always ~~reffered~~ as "The Big One" except at the MBA, there was "The Fat 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 toxic 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. Regarding Soph her dance teacher joined and insulted her on daily basis for two years (see fun facts). But also interesting, when Soph was younger she said she was pretty much best in every class and able to do any move and turning sequence put in her routine easily, but when she joined MBA, she said she was the worst in ballet in her class. She found it quite refeshing have people to look up to. - Again, this girl did Varna 1.5 years later.

In 2018, she tried to start with a singing career. The music video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC3W2NOqugM "Ain't Gonna Play (Official Video) feat. theweiszest"] was released on YouTube and the Streams on Spotify and iTunes.

Interesting, because as kid she was often mocked for her voice.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=div4_Wk3hk8 Sophia Lucia's Voice Change (if you remember her from dance moms WATCH THIS)]</ref> Her therapist encouraged her to start writing her feelings down on paper. He suggested like a “dear diary” type of thing, but she found that super cheesy and started writing poetry instead. And her dad thought her poetry was good, so he mentioned writing a song and contacted a family friend to make a song with her.

“Ain’t Gonna Play” is the very first one that she wrote and felt comfortable putting out there. The song is about a boy, who she was very much into and caused her a lot of pain. She wasn’t one for conflict and would just let the things go. The song was her outlet to say anything that she didn’t have the courage to say it to him in person. It’s about young love. Not just when your first relationship gone bad, but the stuff girls generally go through with boys. She had a thing with this boy for months and he kept telling her how much he liked her, and how he wanted to be with her, but then would run off with any of girl, while she was away. But in general, guys lead girls on way too much and that’s why she thought, it’s relatable to girls of her age. She wanted do more music. She worked also on her acting career and took acting ~~lessions~~. Her dream was to become lead actress in a teen drama show. Still these days Soph is keen for being a top cast or lead actress on a successful movie or TV show. ~~Aftewards~~ Sophia removed herself from the dance world as pro dancer about three years until 2021 for her mental health and enforced her high school diploma and college education (see also Quotes by Sophia).

In 2019, she performed on Universal Dance Awards TV show.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10264908/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_1 IMDb Universal Dance Awards]</ref>. An award show that includes 18 award categories, inspiring speeches and world-class performances highlighting and honoring dancers, choreographers, dance educators, dance influencers, dance conventions and competitions.

As of August 2022, Soph spends her time between her three lives - 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.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSIF3fozdA/?hl=en Soph's IG Her three lifes]</ref>
