BalletX Cancels Spring And Summer Series At The Wilma, July 1-25

BalletX announces the cancellation of the company's annual Spring and Summer Series performances at The Wilma Theater, scheduled for July 1-25, due to public health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It is with a heavy heart that we cancel our Spring and Summer Series. We look forward to returning to the theater soon. Until then BalletX will continue to connect with you online and through our upcoming digital platform for dance, so that when we return to live performances, we can look back on this experience as a time of hope, innovation, and togetherness," said Christine Cox, Artistic & Executive Director of BalletX.

In response to the pandemic, BalletX has remained committed to its community, introducing several initiatives designed to keep audiences engaged and inspired during the ongoing stay-at-home orders around the world. To date, BalletX has:
