meet the founder

For Sophie, the moment she put on heels and danced for the first time, it was more than just a new style—it was an awakening. The empowerment, confidence, and artistry of heels dancing captured her heart and inspired her to share that same feeling with others.

After years of training with top industry leaders in Toronto and South Korea, and performing professionally, Sophie moved to Winnipeg in 2017 with her young family. She quickly discovered her true passion for teaching, and since 2019, she’s been dedicated to helping students discover their own strength and confidence through heels at Drop In Dance Winnipeg.

In 2020, Sophie founded Heel Appeal to create a space where dancers of all levels could feel empowered, supported, and free to express themselves. She’s passionate about building a community where every student can experience the joy of growth, connection, and self-expression, and she can’t wait to see what’s next for her amazing dancers.
