Early career
Sørensen began learning to skate in 1996 at his father's instigation. He competed internationally with Anne Thomsen beginning in 2003. They placed twenty-fourth at the 2006 World Junior Championships. In 2007, Sørensen teamed up with Czech skater Barbora Heroldová to compete for Denmark. They competed one season together, placing twenty-first at the 2008 World Junior Championships. In 2009, Sørensen began competing with Canadian skater Katelyn Good for Denmark. In their first season together, they won the Danish senior national title, placed seventeenth at 2010 World Junior Championships, twenty-first at the 2010 European Championships, and twenty-fourth at the 2010 World Championships. The following season, they decided to move from training in the United States under Mathew Gates to Montreal to be near Good's mother. On Gates' recommendation, they began training under Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon, whose just-opened ice dance academy had only four teams at the time. Shortly after the move, Good's mother died. Sørensen and Good placed twenty-ninth at the 2011 World Championships in their final performance together, as Good chose to retire due to injury. In 2012, Sørensen began skating with Canadian skater Vanessa Crone, but she decided not to compete with him. == Partnership with Fournier Beaudry ==
Partnership with Fournier Beaudry
Sørensen had a tryout with another Canadian, Laurence Fournier Beaudry of Quebec, in February 2012.. On 19 June 2025, the suspension was overturned by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada on jurisdictional grounds and Skate Canada lifted its sanctions. Sørensen argued that since he was neither a Canadian citizen nor a skater for Canada at the time of the incident, he did not consent to be retroactively bound by the Canadian code of conduct for sports. An arbitor ruled that the Director of Sanctions and Outcomes, the authority to impose sanctions on athletes, did not have the jurisdiction to investigate the alleged attack. The allegation has still not been tested in a formal court of law. In May 2026, Ashley Foy, a former ice dancer and current coach in the Netherlands, came out publically as the victim stating, "I don't care care what professional retaliation I face anymore. I can't bear to face another person talking about this case to me not knowing I'm the victim." The decision is still being argued by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada as of May 2026. == Programs ==
