EMBRACE THE ARTIST YOU ARE CREATED TO BE
Sophie Payne began her dancing journey at the age of four at The Next Step Dance Studio where she quickly entered the competition field at the age of five. She trained in ballet, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary, where she won numerous awards and recognition. Sophie has toured around the United States and Europe, where she has previously assisted dance conventions like LA Dance Magic and performed for a wide array of audiences. Sophie spent time signed to MSA Agency working and auditioning in LA, where she discovered her calling and passion to lie in teaching and choreographing.
Sophie currently directs and choreographs for numerous competition teams, as well as trains with studios in Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, California. Approaching her ninth year teaching and guiding students all around the Bay Area, Sophie’s goal is not only to provide the best training for her students, but help people develop their artist voice and be proud of the artist they are created to be.
