Celebration Dance Pennsylvania Ballet commemorates 50 years with a new center and a stunning season. W ith the relaunch of its affiliated dance school and the emergence of its new home, Pennsylvania Ballet will soon celebrate its 50th anniversary. The highly anticipated season — October 2013 through June 2014 — features diverse works from the company’s acclaimed classical and contemporary repertoire. Founded in 1963 by Barbara Weisberger, a protégé of legendary choreographer George Balanchine, Pennsylvania Ballet is one of the premier dance companies in the U.S. Last fall, it returned to its roots as a renowned training institution with the rebirth of its affiliate, the School of Pennsylvania Ballet. The reopening of the school — where future professional dancers and area dance students train in the company’s nuanced style — is just one pillar of the current $25 million capital campaign, Building Beyond 50. The first of this three-phase construction project on Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts includes four halls for professional dancers and practicing students. A second phase adds a large fifth studio with a guest viewing gallery, and the final phase renovates an existing building for administrative offices, meeting space, and other needs. The campaign also aims to raise funds for key artistic initiatives and working capital. Subscriptions to the 2013–14 season go on sale this spring at paballet.org. As its exciting golden anniversary season draws near, Pennsylvania Ballet continues to shine as one of the city’s leading cultural institutions.
