“An ebullient performer, so full of life”
American Theatre

Dubbed a “tap dancer and choreographer of extraordinary depth" by The New York Times, Bessie Award winner Ayodele Casel is a longtime City Center collaborator and one of the world’s great tap talents—an artist of strength and fluid, generous style. As the second featured artist-curator in our Artists at the Center series, Casel expands her sublime 2021 Fall for Dance commission Where We Dwell to further explore her and her collaborators’ personal, cultural, and musical approaches to the quintessentially American tap form.

Each of the series’ three unique programs includes Where We Dwell—Casel’s collaboration with vocalist Crystal Monee Hall—and features World Premiere City Center Commissions created with renowned tap artists including: Jared Alexander, Alexandra Bradley, Amanda Castro, Maurice Chestnut, Kurt Csolak, Naomi Funaki, Quynn Johnson, Ted Louis Levy, John Manzari, Anthony Morigerato, Caleb Teicher, and Dre Torres.

Tickets go on sale September 6 to members and September 13 to the general public. Get advance access to the full season when you join Friends of City Center at the $100 level or above.
