Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ dance program has long been regarded as one of the state’s best, so it’s only natural that individual dancers shine when it is their turn in the spotlight.
Fourteen Anne Arundel County students have been named All-State Dancers, ranking them among the 25 best in the state. The All-State dancers were selected through audition by a panel of professional dancers and college/university dance faculty based on technique, musicality, professionalism, performance, attitude, and likelihood of future success in dance. All-State dancers were honored at the conclusion of The Maryland Public High School Dance Showcase evening concert at Goucher College.
