BALLET UNDER THE STARS

Ballet Quad Cities' gift to the community

 

From June 7-9, 2013, Ballet Quad Cities is providing three free ballet performances in the outdoor Classic Theatre in Rock Island's Lincoln Park.  This production, called Ballet Under the Stars, features dances from the company's extensive repertory that appeal to people of all ages.  Residents from throughout the Quad Cities delight in these free performances and the company always performs to "standing-room-only" audiences. The audience's enthusiastic response to Ballet Under the Stars has always been a heartwarming tribute to the dancers and administrative staff of the ballet company and as the sun goes down, the stage lights up with extraordinary dance.
