Over the years, MCBC dancers have been awarded numerous dance
scholarships.  The company has produced several professional dancers
performing internationally with prestigious dance companies.

Each year, The Nutcracker is performed in December. In the spring, MCBC
dancers perform in the Seasons of Spring concert, attend Regional Dance
America's Mid-States Festival as well as Three's Company, a collaborative
effort between three mid-west dance companies. As part of our commitment
to the community we also include lecture demonstrations and educational
productions for area schools, introducing them to ballet through stories
such as Alice in Wonderland.

Regional Dance America Regional Dance America (RDA) was founded in
1988 to promote the artistic development of dance companies throughout
the United States. The five regional organizations of RDA (the Mid-States,
the Northeast, the Pacific, the Southeast, and the Southwest) hold festivals
each year where member companies share four days of master-classes,
lectures, seminars and social events. Evening performances are held
showcasing the member companies, demonstrating the growth they have
achieved throughout the year.

These festivals provide each company's dancers with the opportunity to
perform for a broader regional audience, take classes from world renown
teachers, be seen by artistic directors associated with professional
companies, present emerging choreography and audition for national
scholarships to universities and summer dance programs. MCBC has
consistently been awarded the privilege of performing at the prestigious
Gala Performance and is an Honor Member of RDA.
