Sofie Dossi

Sofie Dossi is a contortionist/aerialist act from Season 11 of America's Got Talent.

Background
Sofie currently lives in southern California and is a self-taught entertainer. She first became interested when she saw a video of contortion. Her dad made her canes used in her performances. Sofie performs specialty acts that include contortion, hand balancing, and aerial arts for live audiences. 

Audition
Sofie Dossi's audition in Episode 1105 consisted of bending her knees over her head and balancing on one hand on a cane. With her legs still bent, she then grabbed an apple with her legs and took a bite out of it. Finally, while performing a handstand, she shot a bow with her feet and hit a target feet away. Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all voted "Yes," sending Sofie to the Judge Cuts.

Judge Cuts
Sofie Dossi's Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1108 consisted of hanging on an elevated hoop by first the back of her neck and then the bridge of her feet. Next, she hand balanced on rotating beams. Finally, she shot a bow with her feet and hit a target with a flaming arrow feet away. Howie Mandel, Mel B, Reba McEntire, and Heidi Klum gave her standing ovations. Impressed by the performance, guest judge Reba pressed her Golden Buzzer for Sofie, sending her straight to the Quarterfinals.
