As Ballet Quad Cities completes another season of bringing the excitement of professional dance to our community and beyond, we would like to take a moment to share some highlights of the past year with you, our biggest fans and greatest supporters.
During Season 2012-2013:
- we began a partnership with Orchestra Iowa to provide live music accompaniment at The Nutcracker & Cinderella performances in both Cedar Rapids and Davenport;
- more dancers were added to the company;
- our professional dancers presented in-school interactive health & wellness outreach to 2,385 students at 30 schools, and 6,075 students from the Quad City area attended a live ballet performance;
- Ballet Quad Cities was a leading partner in C.A.R.E. - QC (Connecting Anti-Bullying Resources & Education in the Quad Cities) which addresses bullying in our community and helping with solutions;
- Iowa Public Television filmed our Nutcracker and Cinderella performances at the Adler for future airing;
- our audiences increased over last year due in part to an increase in promotions;
- we added a Development Director to the staff in order to increase awareness and contributions to continue our growth;
- 100% more students from Frances Willard Elementary school will participate in our after-school program "Dance With the Stars" - twice the number of students that participated last year.
