Ballet Des Moines will present their free 2025 Summer STEM Tour: "See the Music" on June 1 from 5-8 PM in the Alliant Amphitheater in the Port of Dubuque. 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 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 from The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquaiurm and other local STEM partners that will spark understanding, curiosity, and creativity amid an immersive live performance. Join Ballet Des Moines to experience what happens when you approach a concept from a creative and unexpected direction.
