Philadelphia School of Circus Arts

Join BalletX at the Festival at Highmark Mann, featuring the world premiere of The Four Seasons Reimagined – an epic love letter to Mother Nature that invites audiences into a living, breathing world shaped by sound, movement, light, and design. Composer and electronic music innovator Dan Deacon creates and performs a bold original score live on stage, igniting an immersive landscape where the seasons pulse with urgency and wonder. Four visionary choreographers, Morgann Runacre-Temple (Summer), Penny Saunders (Fall), Jamar Roberts (Winter), and Trey McIntyre (Spring), each bring a distinct season to life, revealing nature as the driving force at the heart of the story: fragile, fierce, and magnificently alive.

We love & we hope you do, too! Use our discount code PCCBX for tickets.

New Pop Up Pole Choreo with Amira!
May 17, 11am-12pm

This beginner–intermediate workshop invites you to turn inward and explore sensuality through intentional, heels-based movement. Set to Rhianna’s “Woo,” we’ll focus on slow transitions, grounded flow, and subtle details that build connection with your own body—centering presence and personal expression. Expect a guided choreography that emphasizes control, fluidity, and that quiet, magnetic energy that comes from moving for yourself first.

This class leans into sensuality, with a focus on moving with intention and confidence throughout the sequence.

Pole heels recommended (otherwise please bring socks!) and knee pads required.

Years before Market Street became a bustling shopping district, it was home to America’s first circus Centuries before Cirque du Soleil, it was in Philadelphians where John Bill Ricketts rode two horses at a time, rode them backward, and then stood up to juggle.
