The X-Process

“The innovation, enthusiasm, beauty, and community engagement of BalletX captured our hearts!”
Richard Dickstein & Jyll Portnoy, BalletX Donors since 2018
“BalletX takes us out of the everyday and shows us how movement can be charged with meaning. BalletX proves that not everything which is essential is invisible to the eyes. BalletX reminds us what it can mean to be fully human.”
Leslie Sudock & Dan Drecksage, BalletX Donors since 2010
“We are drawn to BalletX by its commitment to both its roots in classical ballet and the creation of new works. BalletX’s choreography is always innovative and exciting, and the works are beautifully executed by the company. We are proud to support their work.”
John & Karin Kopesky, BalletX Donors since 2005
