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 Lee Miller|Abby]] was one of the kindest, warm hearted people she ever met and she still comments on her Instagram posts, although she had in last years quite serious problems<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxDfA81iMAo Abby Lee Miller Talks 'Dance Moms,' Prison and Overcoming Cancer - Full Interview]</ref>.

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 asked her also not to compete. because she would make some kids nervous that they had withdrawn before they even entered the stage. Some [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deSV-vfsgmo episodes of Dance Moms] might be the reason for this which gave her an image as ''Sophia the Destroyer''. The kids don't realize, the show was following a script and it has nothing to do how she is actually like.
