The Museum relies heavily on the generous donations of many people and without these donations
we could not obtain our goals. All amounts are greatly appreciated and make a huge difference for
us as a small non-profit organization. Thank you for your support!
The Museum houses the C. V. Whitney Hall of
Fame, one of two permanent exhibits, established in the museum’s first year to illustrate
the contributions of choreographers, teachers, artists, directors and others, both living and dead,
who have and continue to help shape dance in all areas.
The museum has rotating exhibits through out the year.
The Swyer Studios
The founders of the museum agreed that dance practice sessions, rehearsals, new choreography,
and performance should be a part of the museum’s life, and thus established the Lewis A. Swyer
Studios in 1989. An integral part of the museum’s connection to the dance community, the studios
allows choreographers, teachers and tomorrow’s performers a venue for study and demonstration.
The Swyer studios are home to the School of the Arts Program, offering many styles of dance for all
ages and abilities.
The studios host New York State Summer School Arts programs in July and August providing intensive
pre-professional training with acclaimed artists and artistic companies.
Donations will ensure that the museum's goals are obtained. Your donations are tax deductible.
Thank you to all of our museum supporters.
