Five teams of professional dancers from Ballet Quad Cities will spend five days delivering interactive educational outreach programs to 1,200 first-grade students in 17 Davenport schools. The outreach includes meeting professional dancers and learning about their career choice and how they spend their work day; the students then take a mini dance class and learn choreography from the ballet The Ugly Duckling. Fourteen first-grade students from Lincoln Academy were also chosen to perform in The Ugly Duckling, which was performed for the public February 16 and 17. A special school matinée for the Davenport schools will be performed at 12:30 p.m. on March 6 at the Capitol Theatre.
Political
commentator Eleanor Clift's Wednesday lecture at St. Ambrose
University is titled "America at a Crossroads - Politics or
Partisanship," but many will likely be more interested in inside
baseball, particularly considering the unusual uncertainty
surrounding the Democratic party's nomination for president.
