EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH  
EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH
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.
MCBC presents... FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4TH, 2009... "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 plans for future programs featuring other children's story ballets.

At the theatre, students explore a fantastic story line, elaborate costumes and sets, and
between scenes are taught all about what is going on by an experienced lecturer. They are
shown behind-the-scenes set changes and special effects and are invited to interact with
questions and demonstrations.  A curriculum guide is also available to participating
schools containing materials for teachers to use with the students before and after
attending the performance.
