Bus Watching


Thank you to everyone who voted on the colors for our brand new bus wraps! Ballet Quad Cities' buses are "wrapped!" And they're the most beautiful buses in the USA!



We have two buses, one in Iowa and the other in Illinois. They are a rich purple and deep blue with a hint of pink. Keep your eyes peeled for them. Leave a comment to let us know just how beautiful they really are. Have a bus sighting? Take a picture and post it on our Facebook wall! Or post a comment on our wall telling us what you think! We will be giving tickets away to our upcoming performance of Love Stories to the bus watcher who can describe the beauty of our buses most accurately. Your description will be put here on our website!

A huge thank you to Joe Maciejko for taking the stunning photographs on the buses; a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

Ballet Quad Cities would like to say goodbye and best wishes to Board Member and Drosselmeyer "Extraordinaire" Tyson Danner, as he moves to the Big Apple, NYC!


Take a behind the scenes look at our performance of The Nutcracker at the Adler Theatre in Davenport. From warm up, to makeup to the actual performance, the days are long but enjoyable for the 70-member cast. This gorgeous video was created by Stephanie Makosky of the Dispatch/Argus.

Footnotes

"I watched a version of The Nutcracker done by a professional company after we went to yours and honestly, yours was so much better. Your setting was great! And the physical abilities of the dancers was awesome. The TV version was plain and simple compared to yours. I thought the kids did a great job!"
- Delores Neff of East Moline


"What Beth and I saw at the Alder Saturday night was outstanding! Obviously, we have seen a lot of various performances of all types over the past 20+ years. BQC has taken their production to a level unprecedented for a company so young, yet so accomplished. Even after seeing dozens of Nutcrackers, our attention and enjoyment never wavered."
- Dr. Timothy P. Millea of Davenport

"Beautiful! The dancing was perfect. The atmosphere was terrific! I brought my girls ages 11 and 7, who sat with rapt attention throughout the performance. We will definitely make this a Christmas tradition!"
- Trudy Thompson of Davenport

"You have some extraordinarily talented artists here - quite remarkable for a "smaller community."  Thank you so much. Wonderful show."
 - Anne Hood of Moline
