In 2011, De Sola joined the San Francisco Ballet as an apprentice at age 17, and became a member of the corps de ballet the following year. She was named soloist in 2012 and principal dancer in 2017. She has danced roles such as Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty, Titiana in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Princess/Henriette in The Little Mermaid, and Kitri in Don Quixote. She has also originated roles such as Stanton Welch's Bespoke, Dwight Rhoden's LET'S BEGIN AT THE END and Trey McIntyre’s
Your Flesh Shall Be a Great Poem
Reviewing her debut as Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote she “finds an emotional line through this passive character and molds steps into statements”. On a mixed bill performance which includes Bespoke and Hummingbird, The Guardian noted De Sola "transformed from the prim perfection of a pageant queen in Bespoke to earnest, lyrical dancer of Hummingbird in the time it took to change costumes."
Outside of San Francisco Ballet, De Sola has appeared in international galas in United States, Malaysia and Estonia. In 2018, a bilingual children's book based on De Sola's life, On Tiptoes - De Puntitas was published.
