Dancers'
Symposium (DS) Dancers' Symposium (DS) aims to provide an open and supportive environment to further the exposure of dance, music, student choreography, and student performance at Carnegie Mellon University. There are no requirements to audition; people of all backgrounds, cultures, majors, and genders are encouraged to participate. Diverse styles of choreography and lyrical content are encouraged. One two-act show is produced each semester, consisting of professional staging, lighting, and student costume design. All performances are open to the public.

It offers instruction in various dance styles from around the world and is an excellent showcase for the diverse talents of the Carnegie Mellon community. Dancers' Symposium is recognized and funded by the Student Senate.
