Ballet Sun Valley returned to in-person performance earlier this month with two nights of dance at iconic Sun Valley Pavilion. These July events went incredibly well, setting a precedent for more success with their upcoming events. 

In August, Ballet Sun Valley is excited to present two performances by BalletX, a contemporary ballet company that has become well-known for their cutting edge work. On August 22, BalletX performs a two-act ballet that the Boston Globe describes as "a series of fantastical sketches that are like a dream you cannot unpack later, but makes perfect, poetic sense while asleep." August 23's performance will feature six incredible works from choreographers Matthew Neenan, Jorma Elo, Amy Seiwert, Nicolo Fonte, and more. Both evenings promise to be unforgettable!
