This Ballet Company is Delaware Valley's best well-kept secret. Since it was formed, I've attended 98% of their ballets and they are ""must see"" performances for the following reasons: (1) The IBC Ballet Company was founded by two graduates of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy who then performed, as soloists, with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, and with other major ballet companies abroad and in the United States. They are Anasthesia Babayeva and Denis Gronostayskiy, and it's an honor to have them in our Delaware Valley area! Among the full-length ballets they performed are: ""Nutcracker"", ""Coppelia"", ""Walpurgis Night"" and ""Giselle"". It""s my opinion that Anastasia was born to play ""Giselle"", and I've seen that ballet at least 15 times! ...\r
(2) Attending a performance is so-o-o convenient in that free parking is only steps to the modern Theater entrance, which is all one level with the theater, whose sloping seating give wonderfully close-up ""orchestra"" viewing, with very low ticket prices for seeing such high-calibre dancers... and\r
(3) They are devoted to teaching the highest disciplined ""Vagavona"" method of ballet to students in their school, ""The Academy of International Ballet""...the very same method taught at the Bolshoi.
Pros: Bolshoi Ballet Dancers; ""Orchestra-type"" seats, so low $$
