City Center Education is navigating an unprecedented school year by translating our hallmark programs into virtual learning offerings that continue to bring dance and musical theater to students across New York City and beyond. At a time when creative expression is needed more than ever, we are offering several options for online participation, ranging from workshops to multi-week residencies. We have expanded our library of digital resources, including more Behind the Curtain Guides with video companions to enhance the learning experience. In lieu of joining us in our theater, our school partners are given links to watch virtual performances or clips from the comfort of their home or virtual classroom.
