THE COMPANY

Since 1996, Ballet Quad Cities has brought professional classical and contemporary dance to the region through outstanding performances and innovative educational programs for people of all ages and abilities.  In addition to being the longest running fully professional ballet company in the region, our well-established partnerships with diverse cultural and arts organizations within and beyond the Quad Cities enrich our work and the work of our partners. Ballet Quad Cities also uses ballet to facilitate literacy, support social-emotional development, and encourage physical activity with outreach in local schools, libraries, youth centers, and organizations that serve people with disabilities. As a nonprofit ballet company, Ballet Quad Cities makes art accessible and affordable to everyone. Our board has committed to give all area students an opportunity to enjoy live ballet,  keep ticket prices affordable, and provide outreach programs to local students and adults.
