About Me |
|
| The Michigan Classic Ballet Company (MCBC) is associated with Regional Dance
America (RDA), a national organization. Each year, the 5 regions that make up RDA hold
festivals in the spring throughout the United States. MCBC is part of the Mid-States region
which includes eleven states in the Mid-West. The Festivals consists of 3 action packed
days of performances, master classes, lectures, seminars and social events
culminating with a Gala Performance. The 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.Over the years MCBC has seen many of its' members be rewarded with numerous
summer school scholarships and has produced several professional dancers. The
Michigan Classic Ballet Company has also been proud to consistently be rewarded the
privilege of performing at the prestigious Gala Performance and is therefore an elite
Honor Member.Each year The Nutcracker Ballet is performed in December and in the spring our
Seasons of Spring concert. As part of our commitment to education we also include
lecture demonstrations for area schools introducing them to ballet through stories such
as Alice in Wonderland. Artistic Director - Mary C. Geiger Mary Celeste Geiger has danced professionally for over ten years.
