The company’s streaming platform, BalletX Beyond, which launched in September 2020, has produced dance films by choreographers from around the world, reaching subscribers in 20 states and 7 countries, and earning a reputation for “revolutionizing virtual performance” (Harper’s Bazaar). In addition to commissioning new works for stage and film, BalletX offers a number of education and community programs designed to bring its home city of Philadelphia and the nation closer to dance.
