| The Michigan Classic Ballet Company’s vision is to produce superior ballet productions, educate the community about the performing arts, build strong ties with business and education, and participate in national and regional dance festivals. SCHOLARSHIPS To build this vision, each season MCBC offers scholarships to talented students, as well as admittance into the Professional Training Scholarship Division (PTSD) to those students who want to continue ballet as a profession. The strength of the Michigan Classic Ballet Company lies in our ability to attract dancers of the highest caliber, and we must continue this tradition if we are to keep MCBC what it is today. Unfortunately, the cost is great. When you make a tax-deductible contribution to our Sponsor a Dancer Scholarship Fund, you help train talented dancers who will delight future audiences here at home and around the country. As we continue this program with your help, we hope to accomplish even greater results. OUTREACH Each year, MCBC presents "Nutcracker Knowledge,” an educational program including a modified performance of the “Nutcracker Ballet” designed especially for students. This FREE program educates children on the history of the Nutcracker, classical ballet, and provides an enriching and interactive experience. In addition to the Nutcracker programs, we have developed a similar program for Swan Lake and have laid plans for future programs featuring other children's story ballets. |
