American Ice Theatre is a non-profit organization working to foster and empower artistic an contemporary skating through education, performance, and outreach. We envision skaters everywhere to develop a healthy and holistic view of themselves, their life-long journey in skating, and find a community of artistic and contemporary individuals who will join them on their path. AIT’s core values are inclusion, acceptance, innovation, and authenticity, and we strive for these values to flourish at all AIT events, seminars, and performances. AIT strives to bring to the ice new ways of moving, interacting, and performing AIT believes all skaters have the ability to discover their creativity by tapping into the innate authenticity within themselves. Core Self, Core Body, Core Choreo.
