Watching a dance performance is all well and good (especially if it’s by BalletX), but have you ever wondered what actually goes into the creation of a piece? Now you can find out. In conjunction with their Spring Series, which runs April 14th through 18th, BalletX is hosting a free lecture and demonstration that will take you inside the dancers’ heads.

You’ll get a sneak peak at how choreographers invent their moves and how dancers perfect and memorize their steps. The presentation won’t be over the heads of the kiddies – in fact, it’s aimed at all ages, and specially created to give youth some unique perspective and first-hand insight into what goes into being a professional dancer.

So if there’s an enthusiastic aspiring dancer in your life – or if you’re just curious (and trust me, after watching the show you will be) – check out this event. It takes place at the Wilma Theatre on Sunday, April 18th, a couple of hours before their final performance.

It’s free, but space is limited since it’s interactive, so make sure to reserve a spot! Email publicity[at]balletx.org with the subject line “Lecture reservation.”
