BalletX

Dancing that you feel as you watch

Don’t miss the Arizona premiere of BalletX, a company that honors the classical ballet tradition while boldly advancing the art form into exciting new territory.

Forging works of athleticism, emotion, and grace, BalletX is Philadelphia’s premier contemporary ballet. The Philadelphia Inquirer called the company “art in motion,” while using words like controlled, sleek, stunning, inventive, musical, and surreal to describe BalletX’s performances. This is “dancing that you feel as you watch,” according to The New York Times.

The program will include Become a Mountain, a dance that simulates the arc of a mountain climb, unfolding in three parts; Scales on the Wings of a Butterfly, a meditation on the beauty and complexity that exist beyond the limits of human perception; and Sojourner, where jazz-inspired dancers become their own instruments, creating a rich tapestry.
