”‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’ WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.” —Sofie Dossi

CONTORTIONIST, HAND BALANCER AND AERIALIST
dream of? Sofie Dossi: I was 12 years old and watching Cirque du Soleil videos on YouTube, seeing girls bending and twisting and thought, ‘Hey, I can do that!’ I’ve always been naturally flexible but never thought it was anything unique until then.
Q: How would you describe your experience on “America’s Got Talent”? SD: ‘America’s Got Talent’ was the best experience of my life. I decided to audition at the last minute so it was a crazy, amazing whirlwind from the start. I faced the challenge of creating new acts that had to dazzle each and every time. It pushed me beyond the boundaries of what I ever
thought I could do. To be challenged like that in front of millions of people was a feeling that I can’t put into words. I loved it all. The producers, crew, judges…everyone was absolutely the best.

Q: When did you first realize that you were able to do things with your body that most people can’t even
Q: What is the most challenging move that you like to do? SD: I love to do my back arch when I bend my legs, then cross them, then straighten them horizontally—all while spinning without stopping! Q: What are people's reactions when they see you perform for the first time? SD: People are shocked and totally not expecting to see me do what I do, especially because I’m so young. I usually get, ‘How did you ever discover you could do that?’ or ‘How is that even possible?’ They’re always even more surprised to hear that I’m self-taught.
