Outreach & Education
“Like most school districts, the Davenport Schools can only afford to commit time and money to performances of the highest quality. Ballet Quad Cities goes beyond expectation in delivering that quality—its professional dancers are highly skilled and their programming is expertly designed to meet the needs of their audiences.”
- endorsement from Kay Hall, Creative Arts Curriculum Specialist for the Davenport Community School District
MUSIC – LITERATURE – ATHLETICISM – VISUAL ARTS – HEALTH – WELLNESS – ANTI-BULLYING
There is no other art form that can bring together a variety of academic subjects and important life skills like professional ballet! Our educational programming, a primary focus of Ballet Quad Cities, generates creativity in the young people of our community. The following outstanding, interactive arts education opportunities teach students about self-expression, communication, the creation of art and so much more. These are the just some of the options available to area schoolchildren during the 2009/2010 Season:
- Special exclusive performances for students priced at $3.00 per ticket
- Educator Guides with information on art, music and dance history, coordinated to each performance
- Personal visits before the performance by BQC dancers, including choreography, props and costumes from the ballet
- Each student receives an age appropriate print program for the performance
We invite you to explore all of our programs further on our website. The drop down list under Outreach & Education will give you options for doing this. Educational Programs will give more detailed descriptions of our programming. The School Matinees option will give you access to our registration forms and a letter that you can use to sign up classes to attend our matinees. If you are a parent who is interested, please pass this information along to your child’s music, art or physical education teacher. If you have further questions about these performances, please call the School Matinee Coordinator, Sandy Ridolfi at (309) 794-0185.
