Sophie Nelson

Sophie Nelson is a freshman at Saint John Bosco Academy. She has been dancing for 9 years and is in her third year with the SBT Company. Sophie’s favorite style of dance is jazz, and she especially loves to create fun turning combinations.

The youngest of three children, Sophie enjoys spending time with her siblings, making coffee runs, and watching The Gilmore Girls TV show. She loves her SBT dance family and has fun chatting with “D Dog” at the front desk before and after dance class. Sophie greatly appreciates the excellent training she’s receiving at Sawnee School of the Arts and is grateful for the diversity of class offerings.

Outside of dance, Sophie likes to read, bake (although her baking isn’t as good as her dancing!), listen to music, and spend time with friends. Her favorite color is a toss-up between green and pink. A fun fact about Sophie is that she’ll eat anything with Tajin on it.

After high school, Sophie’s dream is to attend the University of Alabama and be on their dance team. One day, she might like to open her own dance studio.
