@nanlinr: She did most of her dancing up until college. She was fairly shy and did not like performing on stage that much. Rather, she found a passion in choreographing. This is why you will have a lot of difficulty finding a video. I did a report on her for my Dance History class. I searched for DAYS.

Sonya finds musicality in ways no other choreographer does. This music would prob. normally be choreographed with soft, lyrical movements. She is a genius and very obviously LOVES dance and her dancers. Doesn't get much better.
