Isle of Manhattan Dance Trip

Take a walking tour through the humming streets of New York’s Midtown which is the home of famous sights such as Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Madison Square Garden and some of the city’s most revered museums and institutions.

Visit the Edge, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere with a one-of-a-kind design. It’s suspended in mid-air, giving you the feeling of floating in the sky with 360-degree views you can’t get anywhere else. You will look 100 stories down from the thrilling glass floor, and lean out over the city on angled glass walls.

Broadway’s biggest musical, Hamilton, comes to our students in an interactive movement workshop. A Broadway cast member will teach choreography inspired by this ground-breaking musical, set to music from the Pulitzer Prize-winning score. This workshop will conclude with a Q&A with our Hamilton guest.

You’ve seen it on TV. You’ve heard about it in songs. You‘ve read about it in poems. Follow in the footsteps of Frank Sinatra and Walt Whitman to create your own magic New York moment with a walk across the 6,016-foot Brooklyn Bridge. Learn all about the bridge’s history (it’s one of the oldest suspension bridges in the world) and discover the neighborhoods—past and present—that it united, such as the Fulton Ferry District and Newspaper Row in Manhattan.

Tour Lower Manhattan, where industry, immigration, and colonial history converge. As the symbol of Western capitalism, Wall Street's modern traders bristle with cell phones, PDAs, and other modern tech accessories. This area's original traders, however, were Dutch colonialists, who gave the street its name by building a wall here to protect themselves from British settlers. Nearby Trinity Church, once the tallest building in the city, holds the grave of Alexander Hamilton and other Revolutionary luminaries who helped shape the emerging United States, and thousands of immigrants, who shaped the modern country, came in through Battery Park, the immigration entry point for the city until the operation moved to Ellis Island.

Visit the National 9/11 Memorial which spans across eight of the sixteen acres at the World Trade Center. The memorial honors the lives and memories of those who were lost on 9/11. The Memorial's twin reflecting pools are each nearly an acre in size and feature the largest manmade waterfalls in North America. The pools sit within the footprints where the Twin Towers once stood.

As one of the largest Chinese populations outside of China, Manhattan’s China Town is a thriving community full of authentic restaurants, food markets, shops selling traditional herbal medicine and more. Explore these bustling streets to pick up some unusual souvenirs, meet some local New Yorkers and learn a little bit about the daily life of a Chinese immigrant.
