About this event

Arts & Culture

Join us for a joyful afternoon of dance on the East Terrace of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This free pop-up performance brings bold contemporary ballet out of the theater and into one of Philadelphia’s most iconic public spaces. Enjoy a lively program featuring highlights from BalletX’s repertory that are athletic, inventive, and full of personality, alongside a special performance by the company’s inspiring young Dream Team dancers. You can also join a One Dance, One Philly tutorial and demonstration, where audiences of all ages and experience levels are invited to learn steps and move together. This event is completely free and open to all. Bring friends, bring family, and celebrate the arts with us in the heart of Philadelphia. 20 for 20, presented by PNC Arts Alive BalletX is turning 20, and we’re celebrating with the community that made it all possible! This season, we’re bringing dance beyond the stage with free pop-up performances and First Friday studio events. Join our email list and follow us on social media to see where we’ll be next!
