Hi, I'm Sophie!

I’m  from Dubuque, IA and I started training at age 6 in jazz, lyrical,  contemporary, ballet and tap. During the pandemic I discovered  commercial dancing and fell in love with performance styles and have  been training in those styles ever since.

In  my classes I aim to create a stage setting, letting dancers be the star  of their own show with a supportive and high energy environment. My  movement embraces femininity and power, allowing dancers to be  unapologetically authentic. Barrio has given me some of my closest  friends and has provided opportunities for younger artists like myself  to teach and choreograph.

Fun facts about me: I hate birds and kangaroos. I love Marvel movies, the color purple, and the rain.
