ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — Some Quad Cities students got a look at a ballet classic coming to the Quad Cities in early December.
Company dancers from Ballet Quad Cities visited Ridgewood Elementary on Wednesday, Dec. 7 to preview their upcoming show; a rendition of the classic "The Nutcracker". The dancers also taught the students a few moves and read through all acts of the show.
"The student matinee is, I think for most of us in the company, one of our favorite shows to perform because the kids get so excited," Ballet QC Company dancer Eleanor Ambler said. "You hear them screaming and shouting out in the audience and there's such a great energy coming from them."
The student matinee is behind held Friday, Dec. 9 at the Adler Theatre in Davenport. Other opportunities to see the Nutcracker at the Adler include, this Saturday, Dec. 10 at 2:30 pm and 7:30 pm as well as Sunday, Dec. 11 at 2:30 pm.
