Meet your 2026 Summer Intensive teachers ✨
We are excited to dance with Sophie Soderberg this week! She will be teaching partnering, improv, and contemporary. Read more about Sophie 👇
Sophie Soderberg is a multifaceted artist, mentor, and creative from Fort St. John, BC. In her early dance education, she trained extensively to become a versatile performer, competing in provincial festivals and completing numerous examinations. During her time as a student at Alchemy Dance Collective, her love of the art form and inspiration from her mentors led her to begin teaching and choreographing at a young age.
Upon graduating, Sophie chose to pursue further training as a stepping stone toward a professional career in dance. She graduated from the CLI Conservatory training program in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she trained intensively under conservatory director Teddy Forance. There, she had the incredible opportunity to study dance on camera, personal branding, social media, teaching and choreography, live performance, audition preparation, and extensive training in a wide variety of styles and techniques. Sophie also appeared in the dance film Lost, choreographed by Micaela Taylor in collaboration with the CLI Conservatory.
As a choreographer and mentor to younger dancers, she has directed and choreographed two short dance films—Daydreamer and Get Free—projects that encouraged creative exploration and collaboration among young artists. In 2024, she also stepped into the role of Director of First Impressions at Alchemy Dance Collective, where she continues to help foster a creative and supportive environment for dancers.
Currently based in Vancouver, BC, Sophie actively trains while pursuing a professional career in dance. She is committed to continual growth as a versatile performer in both the commercial and contemporary dance industry and is passionate about expanding her artistry through ongoing classes, workshops, auditions, and performance opportunities.
