ELEVEN AACPS DANCERS EARN ALL-STATE HONORS

In what has become an annual rite of spring, Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ dance program has stepped into the state spotlight once again, with 11 dancers earning All-State honors, placing them among the top 25 dancers in Maryland.

The All-State dancers were selected through a portfolio audition by a panel of arts administrators and college/university dance faculty. Award selection was based on technique, musicality, professionalism, performance, attitude, and likelihood of future success in dance. Dancers also must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better, show leadership at their schools, and have a record of service to their local dance program.
