American Ice Theatre (AIT) was founded in 2003 by Jodi Porter in San Francisco, CA. Since 2019, Kate McSwain and Garrett Kling have led AIT as the Co-CEO's and directed all the educational and performance programming.
AIT's mission as an artistic skating organization is achieved through seminars, camps, performances, residencies, apprenticeships, scholarships, and mentoring for skaters of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels.
AIT is a global leader in the world of artistic and contemporary figure skating by offering a non-competitive platform for skating artists to create, learn, and perform. We envision skaters everywhere developing a healthy and holistic view of themselves and finding a community of like-minded individuals who will join them in their lifelong skating journey.
AIT partners with the Figure Skating Diversity & Inclusion Alliance as well as Audrey Weisiger's Young Artists Showcase and Quest for Creativity to promote artistic skating opportunities for everyone.
