She will be attending Maryville University in the fall for dance. "I really didn't imagine myself dancing at first, but then I was like, you know what, let's try it out, see how it is," Sophie said. "Going to the first clinic was really fun and all the girls were just super nice and invited me very quickly." Sophie said she's been dancing pretty much her whole life starting when she was 3 and then began competing when she was 8.
