“CityDance is the rare pre-professional school offering professional guest artist residencies, a facet of the program whose importance cannot be overstated. The program exposes students to a range of dance styles and methodologies, broadening each student’s scope of knowledge within the field, preparing and inspiring them for the future, and uniquely preparing them to tackle the challenges of the professional dance world.”
