On April 16th BalletX hosted its fundraiser gala on the 50th floor at the Top of the Tower, 1717 Arch Street. Guests gathered just in time to catch the sun setting over the the city in celebration of another successful year of BalletX; they dined on a buffet from Top of the Tower catering and enjoyed specialty drinks including the XMopolitian which was made with Pravada Citron Vodka.

In nine years the company has produced more than 55 world premiere ballets exploring relevant, emotional and honest happenings of the world. During the evening several new BalletX works were performed including Edgar Anido‘s “Mis Amigos, My Friends, Mes Amis “ — with Richard Villaverde and Zachary Kapeluck, and Amy Seiwert‘s “It’s Not A Cry” — with Villaverde and Chloe Felesina. The company also honored friends and supporters Linda and David Glickstein and Jeanne Fisher.
