Inside Ballet Quad Cities

Founded in 1996 by Executive Director Joedy Cook and a dedicated Board of Directors, Ballet Quad Cities is now celebrating its 13th anniversary throughout the 2009/10 Season.  Way back in 1996, the company began with one paid dancer and a young, talented Artistic Director, Johanne Jakhelln.  Before returning to her native country of Norway in the summer of 2005, Johanne created over 40 original ballets and today's vesatile company consists of twelve highly trained professional dancers.

Ballet Quad Cities provides both classical and contemporary dance to the entire bi-state region through outstanding performances, entertaining lecture-demonstrations and innovative educational outreach programs for people of all ages.
