Exploring Literature Through Ballet

We are proud to announce Ballet Quad Cities has been awarded a Humanities Iowa grant of $5,000 for our "Dance Me a Story" project. Dance Me a Story: Exploring Literature through Ballet, is free to the public and allows people of all ages to explore literature through ballet!

What is "Dance Me a Story"?

Implemented in 2014, Dance Me a Story complements Ballet Quad Cities' season with public programs that tie together ballet performances and the literature that inspires the choreography.  Participants first learn how the literature inspires the choreographer and dancers, then they see costumes, head pieces, props and pointe shoes-all important elements to bring the story to life, and then we all dance!

"We're the River Cities' Reader, and we've kept the Quad Cities' only independently owned newspaper alive and free since 1993. Now we find our ability to continue providing all the features you love in serious jeopardy without the financial support of our readers.

So please help the Reader keep going with your one-time, monthly, or annual support. With your financial support the Reader can continue providing uncensored, non-scripted, and independent journalism alongside the Quad Cities' area's most comprehensive cultural coverage." - Todd McGreevy, Publisher
