Support the Dance Program
Chautauqua Connections
One way to become involved in the dance program at CHQ is by becoming a member of “Chautauqua Connections” which sponsors Festival and Apprentice dancers. Dancers (usually in pairs) are connected with sponsors who provide non-financial support along with a home cooked meal, a batch of cookies, a listening ear and having a “special fan” at performances. Information will be sent to enrolled students in the Spring. Contact Karen Goodell at karengoodell2@gmail.com or 917-670-1900 for more information.

Chautauqua Dance Circle
The Chautauqua Dance Circle enables Chautauquans to support the Chautauqua Institution program of dance, provide scholarships to exceptional students and energize all enthusiasts of dance.
Choreographic Workshop/MFSO Collaboration
A unique collaborative program pairing the advanced students of Chautauqua Dance with students of the Chautauqua School of Music (voice & instrumental.) It allows young musicians an opportunity to perform solo & chamber repertoire, and work in a creative relationship with other artists in a dance performance. This performance takes place at 4pm on Friday of week seven. Aside from standard repertoire, there is also a possibility for musicians to perform their own original compositions.
