For her turn in City Center’s “Artists at the Center” series, April 13-15, the ever-radiant tap dancer Ayodele Casel is sharing the spotlight. She has curated five short works from paired choreographers, mixing the well known (Michelle Dorrance, Caleb Teicher) with the up-and-coming. Loosely woven together, these pieces make up the program’s first half. The second is an expanded version of Casel’s 2021 work “Where We Dwell,” an earnest, engaging joyfest with live music by the singer-songwriter Crystal Monee Hall.
