AIT Boston was created by Co-Founders, John Mucko and Kate McSwain in 2015 beginning with seminars in Bridgewater, MA as well as the first AIT Boston Company performances in 2016. Kate McSwain is currently the Director of AIT Boston.
Since then, AIT Boston continues to hold regular seasonal seminars all across the greater Boston area with past guest artists including Elin Schran, Sean Marshinski, Garrett Kling, and Anne Goldberg. Additional educational opportunities include the annual American Contemporary Skating Festival located in Somerville, MA — an international event that brings in coaches, choreographers, and professional skaters from all over the globe to create, collaborate, compose, communicate, and connect. In addition, every spring, John Mucko, leads a 10-week AIT education series for skaters of all ages and levels in Rockland, MA.
AIT Boston also presents professional company performances each year. The AIT Boston performance company season begins with rehearsals in February; performances at multiple area club shows through May; special performances at the Riverwalk Resort in Loon Mountain, NH and a final season performance at the Festival Showcase in Somerville, MA.
Co-Founders, Mucko and McSwain, both directly trained with AIT Founder, Jodi Porter, and are excited to continue her vision of the development of artistic skating through education, performance, and outreach in the Boston area.
Online registration is required by Thursday, October 1st due to capacity limitations.
