People criticize Sophia for not showing enough emotion, but actually her emotional connection is quite good for her age. They may be confused because her technique is so advanced that they expect her emotions to be equally advanced, which is just not realistic at her age. It's like those child prodigies who go to college when they are 11. They are smart but they are still just kids in other ways. But Sophia is maturing and her expressiveness improves with every performance, and eventually it will all come together.

That's a good point... Maybe we expect her emotional execution to be as advanced as her technique is and that's why it seems (to many people, including me) like she should put more work into her emotional execution instead of trying to do 50+ pirouettes... I also wrote a comment on another video (one about her pirouette record) saying exactly that! But I watched this solo again after reading your comment and you may be right and I expected her emotions to be as excellent as her technique and forgot that she's still a child. An 11yrs old girl with the technique of a 14 or 15yrs old girl, but still a child! I'm really looking forward to see her improve as she gets older! Didn't she change studios or something (heard that from some stranger... don't know if it's true)..? Anyways... If you compare her older solos to this one, she definitely improved, not only on her technique but also on her artistry and emotional execution! I'm excited to see how she'll look and perform, not as a child anymore, but as a teenager! I know so many dancers who first struggled a bit with dancing when they hit puberty, because your body changes, everything's new, you feel a little bit awkward about yourself etc.... but after they got over it and started expressing themselves in their dancing again, you could really see that they really improved themselfs further! I think it's because puberty brings so many changes and new feelings. If you get over that feeling of 'embarrasment' and manage to express all the new feelings in your dancing, your artistic and emotional execution automatically improves, because you improved as a person! =)

Tia Edmonds the choreo is so underwhelming for someone of sophia's caliber. The whole thing with sophia is that choreo given to her is always something only SHE can do, because it's much too difficult with others. This choreography I could see other people doing, and it really doesn't show her strengths. I am rather disappointed in this choreography actually.

Why is everybody saying the choreography was subpar? Her best performance of this was at the NYC TDA in 2015, so maybe this looked subpar to ppl cuz she messed up some parts, but c'mon! Penché on relevé?! Layout on relevé?! And there was so much raw emotion executed through this piece. I recommend u watch the NYC TDA version of this if u want to c this dance at its full caliber, but this was absolutely astounding, and the choreography was prty amazing.

Her emotional execution is there much more than it was. But I feel like by her level of commitment she's been told to 'make these faces at this count' and all the emotion comes from pre-choreographed moments, not her heart. She doesn't actually understand the story or can immerse herself in it. I mean, only superfreak children have the adult psychological capabilities of Maddie but she's too old to dance in the 'look at what I can do' manner anymore. She needs to start taking us on a journey. The choreography doesn't help. Too many tricks, no dynamics or moves specific to the dance and no spaces for special moments. But her technique as always is without peer and her dancing is so much more athletic now.

Unfortunately, that's not true. Even in competition, Lucia always beats Ziegler. That's why Ziegler never goes up against her when it can be avoided.
