ICONIC Performing Arts Academy was formed in 2017 by Founders Aitiya Hobson, Shauntae’ Doughty and Artia Reynolds.

 

The founders met as mere teens at Franklin Learning Center High School and collectively, this endeavor began as a vision, a dream and a passion almost 20 years ago. Their paths remained connected through college at Shippensburg University and into their adult lives as they joined their professional aspirations as counselors, therapist and entrepreneurs.

 

Their God given talent of dance has been their gift to their community with an academy that serves as a hybrid to engage, educate and empower youth through the arts. ICONIC is not just a dance school, it's a family, a community and an academy where girls and boys with dreams grow to be men and women with ambition, discipline, creativity, poise, and divine character.
