Sophia Margiotta graduated with the Class of 2025 from San Diego State University, earning her BFA in Dance with a minor in Digital and Social Media Studies, Summa Cum Laude. She has been dancing for fifteen years and has extensive training in contemporary, modern, ballet, jazz, hip hop, and tap. She is an alumnus of Ace Dance Academy; Sophia was a studio member for ten years and competed with the Ensemble for eight years. Through the Ensemble Program, she won multiple scholarships with the Dupree and Encore Dance Competitions.

During her time at San Diego State, Sophia was an active member of the University Dance Company where she worked in collaboration with her peers for “i before e except after c” with Joseph Alter and “It’s All the Time'' with Leslie Seiters. Both pieces were sent to compete at the American College Dance Association’s regional conferences in 2024. She also directed and choreographed her own original work, "To a T", which premiered in April 2025. Sophia was selected by SDSU Staff to serve as Dance Club President for two years, due to her passion and commitment to the improvement of the program.

Sophia is now a teacher and administrative staff member of Ace. She is also applying her digital media skills for multiple companies as a social media manager, consultant, and photographer.
