At 2 p.m. on a hot Tuesday afternoon, most children in Chautauqua are zipping around the grounds on bikes, swinging from monkey bars at the playground or splashing in the lake at the beach.
For those who love the art of dance, the Chautauqua Dance program offers this summer everything from performances by dancers in-residence to lectures on various topics in the world of dance.
The Charlotte Ballet, known formerly as the North Carolina Dance Theatre, will be in residence for the first seven weeks of the Chautauqua season, under the artistic direction of Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux.
