Sophia Hernandez is 15 years old and has loved dancing ballet since she was 5 years old. She has a passion for performing arts and has performed in various musicals (Broadway Showcase and Seussical), concerts (violin), and ballet productions. She has dance experience in both ballet folklorico and classical ballet. Her ballet folkloric experience includes performances at Los Angeles County and Orange County Fairs.
Her classical ballet experience includes performances at Steelworkers’ Auditorium and Lewis Family Playhouse. In her effort to take her ballet training to the next level, she joined Inland Pacific Ballet Academy during the 2021 Summer Intensive. Throughout the year, she performed in IPB Academy’s recital of The Sleeping Beauty and attended the 2022 Summer Intensive. Sophia’s passion, strong work ethic, and ability to learn quickly has given her the opportunity to be a 2022 IPB Academy Junior Trainee. This season she is excited to be performing in The Nutcracker for the first time. Sophia is appreciative for all the investment and support that her teachers have provided her and is looking forward to another year with IPB Academy!
