BalletX Is Getting A New Home, And 40 New Works Will Be Created There

The company is breaking ground for its first permanent studio, a former furniture store and auto repair shop in South Philadelphia that will be called the Center for World Premiere Choreography. BalletX director Christine Cox is serious about that name: in addition to space for morning dance class and rehearsal, the Center (which is expected to open over this winter) will provide space for choreographers to work, and Cox promises 40 new ballets over the next ten years.
