AIT Minneapolis / St. Paul: Company History
In 2019, Garrett formally settled in Minneapolis and founded the AIT MSP satellite. AIT MSP has seasonal seminars, adult specific seminars, community outreach events, and an AIT MSP Performance Company to continue developing the contemporary skating community in the Twin Cities. In summer 2020, Joey Millet was named the AIT MSP Assistant Director and in October 2022, Cameron Claire was named Co-Assistant Director.
AIT MSP Director, Garrett Kling, received his AIT Certification in 2012 training under AIT Founder, Jodi Porter. Garrett went on to mentor directly under Jodi while living in Chicago before beginning to conduct seminars in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area in 2016. While professionally performing on tour with Bietak Productions and Holiday on Ice, Garrett maintained AIT training in the MSP area with annual seminars.
In July 2020, AIT MSP named the Assistant Director position to Joey Millet. Joey is a double gold-medalist, technical skills skating coach, and AIT-Certified choreographer slovenska-lekaren.com. He has trained under the AIT movement philosophy since 2019. In 2022, Cameron Claire was named Co-Assistant Director of AIT MSP alongside Joey. Cameron is the winner of the 2022 Young Artists Showcase, an AIT-Certified choreographer, and has been a member of the AIT MSP Professional Performance company since its formation in 2019.
