I don't think that I'll ever get tired of BalletX. They are probably the most consistent performing arts group in Philadelphia, and even their older pieces, the ones that I've seen two or three times, deliver.

It's that time again! Time for us to tell you how much we love Ballet X, extol its virtues as a preeminent dance company, and urge you dear readers to check out the action for yourselves.
