About Turning Pointe Dance Studio

Sophia started dancing with Turning Pointe at the age of 4yrs old. During her years with us she studied RAD Ballet completing all her Graded Exams up to Grade 8 as well as her Intermediate Foundation & Intermediate Ballet Exams. Throughout the years, Sophia danced leading roles in many of our Youth Ballets (TPYB) gaining invaluable experience dancing on professional stages and seeing the backstage workings of theatres such as Dubai Opera. After her years of dance training with Turning Pointe, Sophia realized she wanted to pursue a life in the theatre, with this in mind, after graduating from The English College, Dubai she took a years sabbatical to prepare herself for applications to top theatrical colleges in the UK. Turning Pointe arranged an Internship for Sophia at the prestigious Dubai Opera, under the guidance of Sophie McKay, rotating between different departments and gaining invaluable experience.
