News HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL'S DANCE COMPANY danced away with some very special awards at the Maryland State Dance Showcase on Friday, January 4. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Dance Company took master classes, rehearsed, and performed at Goucher College in the 19th annual Showcase. Forty-one dance pieces were submitted and Hammond was one of thirteen selected to perform. They closed the first act, and had to follow a stunning performance by Suitland Performing Arts High School, who received a standing ovation. The whole was a great learning experience for the dance group, one that Ms. Kuhl-McClelland, Dance Company instructor feels certain that it will make this group better and stronger! Hammond did have several individual awards and one major award! Receiving Honorable Mention All State Dancers were BRITTANY TYLER and CHISA COPLIN. Over 200 dancers were adjudicated and THREE Hammond Dancers received the highest award as ALL STATE DANCERS - MAYA COLLINS, NAKIA BOOMER, and JENNIFER ALLAM all received medals! Lastly, the Dance Company was awarded the sole major award of the evening - the 2008 Professionalism and Performance Award! Thank you for your support and encouragement of these young women. |
