CityStep Watch Party

May 19th, 2022

A night to remember! CityStep’s Watch Party was a unique, visual experience, screening new footage and highlights from end-of-year events across campuses. Surmounting pandemic obstacles this year was no simple task, yet with resilience and fortitude, the CityStep companies succeeded, aided with support and training from CityStep HQ in NYC. What a celebration of CityStep back in action! Watch the full video below.

And to all those who attended and continue to support CityStep, THANK YOU!

Some of the inspiring comments from our speakers and the attendees:

From our Co-Hosts:

I’ve written down the words I’ve been hearing [tonight], words like us, community, physical, engaging, JOY, collaboration, in-person… CityStep is demonstrating and creating year after year, decade after decade, what a new world could look like: a better world, the way the world should be. CityStep embodies three C’s: Connection, Creativity and Courage. Throughout this pandemic, and against extraordinary odds, CityStep has stayed committed (oh that’s another ‘c’!) to its mission. I’m just blown away by all the programs, by everybody at CityStep.org, by you Sabrina and by this community. —Amy Brenneman

I need to say, on a personal note, it was really, really amazing to see what you did this year. I’ve been excited for the last couple of years that CityStep was going to come to NYC, where I’ve lived for almost 25 years. I was fortunate enough to come to SST [Such Sweet Thunder] and see CityStep Columbia being birthed. Even more special to me, who was a CityStep teacher and have loved CityStep for all these years, was to bring my own children to see it and have them understand a little bit about what CityStep is. —Scott Taylor

From our Attendees:

These young dancers express more wisdom and understanding than many adults I know… wow. Just wow. —Juliet Lamont

Goosebumps!!! The show was amazing and inspirational for all. —Jamila Baly Harris

Thank you to Sabrina for having an amazing vision. Thank you for inspiring us. —Sarina Malik

Such a wonderful gift and opportunity to give back to my community and work with such fabulous artists such as the children at HSA… Thank you so much to everyone and especially Sabrina for making this all possible. Support CityStep and support art and creativity!! —Flor Massey

One of many fulfilling parts was seeing the happiness on the parents/caregivers faces seeing their children light up the stage and be excited about Citystep. —Chris Hernandez

I am so impressed by how the CitySteppers have persisted and prevailed during these years of remote work. Amazing! —Licia Hurst
