Ballet Des Moines Summer STEM Tour

Overview

Ballet Moines returns to Cedar Rapids with this year’s Summer STEM tour: See the Music. From coding and choreography to sound waves and virtual reality, this year's tour explores how we can "see the music" and visualize the invisible.

Experience mini-science demonstrations from the stage from the NASA Iowa Space Grant Consortium and the Science Center of Iowa, Brucemore Artists in Residence bringing spoken word word poetry and live music performances to every stop, and the dancers of Ballet Des Moines performing excerpts from their 24-25 season.

This free event includes accessible, hands-on activities that will spark understanding, curiosity, and creativity in the midst of an immersive live performance. Join us to experience what happens when you approach a concept from a creative and unexpected direction. Tour partners include Iowa PBS, the Science Center of Iowa, NASA Iowa Space Grant Consortium, 4-H, FLeX Lab (Iowa State University of Science and Technology) and Pi515.
