The video went viral, so the idea came up to call Guiness Officials, financed by sponsorship of ''Kids Artistic Revue'' and ''California Kisses'', and held at her home studio in front of hundreds of observers. She broke the official one in her first attempt. She managed 47 pirouettes on the first attempt, 48 on the second and 55 on her third. The previous Guinness Book world record was done by 36 pirouettes held by Alicia Clifton at Applause Studio in Oklahoma. | ||
*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> | *Sophia completed her first pirouette when she was 4.

*Soph got challenged a couple times about her record. E.g. on Dancepalooza she had a turn contest against break dancer Simrin Player, who turned on her head. Sophie did more turns, but Simrin did it longer. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVqdiieKhkk Dancepalooza - Sophia Lucia vs Simrin Player Turn Contest]</ref> She was also challenged many time by dance battles, such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqpNJxf-KdU Contemporary Eric at Industry Dance Awards 2014]. | *Soph got challenged a couple times about her record.
