Sophie Grow has been a dancer since she was 4 years old. She has been involved in cheerleading, acro, hip hop, contemporary, and more. Sophie found her passion for ballroom dancing 7 years ago when taking a homeschoolers class at the Evergreen Ballroom. Since then, she has built her knowledge and skills by performing, taking classes, and competing in the Southern Oregon Youth Ballroom Competition. Sophie has always had a passion for choreographing routines and even choreographed her own Star Wars themed cheer dance when she was 10 years old. Her goal in life is to make a large positive impact in the world, and through her involvement with dance she feels like she is on the right track. Dancing is magic for Sophie and is an amazing way for her to relieve stress (like during college finals!) and showcase her personality. She has grown up in the Rogue Valley loving the outdoors and spending time with her family, friends, and pets. Sophie works at the Grange Co-op as a forklift certified cashier and as a student intern for the Jackson County 4-H program. She is also a full-time college student at Southern Oregon University’s Honors College, finding ways to incorporate her love of dance into her everyday life.
