PERFORMING OPPORTUNITIES  
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.
