SUMMARY:BalletX
DESCRIPTION: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. \nForging 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. \nThe 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. \nAbout the Company \nFounded in 2005 and led by Artistic & Executive Director Christine Cox\, the company has commissioned more than 80 choreographers from around the world to produce 150 world premieres that are “fresh\, inclusive\, and connect to what people want” (Philadelphia Citizen). With a versatile and diverse ensemble of 16 dancers\, hailed as “among America’s best” by The New York Times\, BalletX pushes the boundaries of classical ballet to tell today’s stories with passion\, creativity\, and exuberance. As a vibrant global incubator for artistic talent\, the company makes ballet accessible and inviting\, captivating audiences at prestigious venues\, including The Kennedy Center\, Vail Dance Festival\, The Joyce Theater\, and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Through performances\, international touring\, and meaningful community outreach\, BalletX creates extraordinary dance experiences that inspire human connection.

It is a perfect platform for dance companies to get exposure\, promote their work\, and to connect with others in the dance community and the general public. Each evening performance will showcase different dance artists including emerging artists as well as professional companies from all genres and styles of dance.  \nA post-performance “Q & A” / “Talk Back” will be facilitated by the Arizona Dance Coalition directly after the show. This will allow the audience to engage in lively conversation with the artistic directors and choreographers for a deeper dive into insights in the creation of their dance works. \n“The Arizona Dance Coalition is a major event sponsor. \nFEATURED DANCE ARTISTS AND COMPANIES \nTHURSDAY\, SEPTEMBER 24 – Line-up (Alphabetical Order) \nPre-Show Activities: Interactive movement experience with COMMIT Dance Fitness Arizona Ensemble; solo dance performance by Erika Alexxandrya \nAlignDance Theatre (Scottsdale\, AZ) – Contemporary Modern\nCaZo Dance Theatre (Mesa\, AZ) – Modern \nDesert Dance Theatre/Step’s Junk Funk (Tempe/Mesa\, AZ) – Interdisciplinary Modern & Percussion\nErika Alexxandrya (Los Angeles\, CA) – Contemporary\nJazz Spectrum Dance Company (Lake Forest\, CA) – Classical Jazz\nLenora Noire (Phoenix\, AZ) – Raqs Sharqi/Egyptian Style Belly Dance\nShahrazad Dance Company (Phoenix\, AZ) – Egyptian/ Arabic Dance\nShane O’Hara * Solo Dance (Williamsburg\, VA) – Dance Theatre Solo \nWagner Dance Premiere All Stars (Mesa\, AZ) – Contemporary \nFRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 25 – Line-up (Alphabetical Order) \nPre-Show Activities: Interactive movement experience with COMMIT Dance Fitness Arizona Ensemble; interactive performance by Step’s Junk Funk \nAhdivah Cohen / Sedona Dance Project – Contemporary\nAstarte Belly Dance Troupe (Gilbert\, AZ) – Egyptian Cabaret \nClasscalFusionDance (Phoenix\, AZ) – Contemporary\nDesert Dance Theatre (Tempe\, AZ) – Contemporary Modern\nKaleidic Creations (Phoenix\, AZ) – Contemporary Modern\nNannette Brodie Dance Theatre & Sustaita Dance Company (Long Beach\, CA) – Modern\nNevada Repertory Dance Theater (Las Vegas\, NV) – Contemporary Modern\nScottsdale Community College Dance Program (Scottsdale\, AZ) – Modern\nWight Noise Dance Company (Peoria\, AZ) – Modern \nSATURDAY\, SEPTEMBER 26 – Line-up (Alphabetical Order) \nPre-Show Activities: Interactive movement experience with COMMIT Dance Fitness Arizona Ensemble; solo dance performance by Victoria Morena Olmos-Tsosie \nCanyon Movement Company (Flagstaff\, AZ) – Modern\nCaZo Dance Theatre (Mesa\, AZ) – Modern\nDesert Dance Theatre/Step’s Junk Funk (Tempe/Mesa\, AZ) – Interdisciplinary Modern & Percussion\nKraken Still and Film (Phoenix\, AZ) – Contemporary\nKrishna A.K.A KCBoy (Phoenix\, AZ) – Hip Hop\nMovement Source Dance Company (Phoenix\, AZ) – Modern\nNannette Brodie Dance Theatre (Long Beach\, CA) – Modern\nNevada Repertory Dance Theater (Las Vegas\, NV) – Modern\nOllin Yoliztli Dance Academy (Phoenix\, AZ) – Mexican Folkloric\nRosenkrans Dans (Phoenix\, AZ) – Contemporary Modern\nUtkala Dance Academy (Phoenix\, AZ) – Sambalpuri Folk Dance\nZoriy (Phoenix\, AZ) – Belly Dance \nDDT Website: http://www.desertdancetheatre.org/\nFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/DesertDanceTheatreAZ \nTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/DesertDanceAZ \nInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/DesertDanceTheatreAZ \nInstagram: @TempeArts \nFacebook: @TempeCenterfortheArts \nQuestions?
