'The Dance Goes On' Series Highlights BCPS Students, Teachers

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — A new dance series called “The Dance Goes On” demonstrates the work that Baltimore County Public School system students and teachers accomplished this school year. The three showcases in the series, one for each of the school system’s three geographic zones, will air together at 7:30 p.m. each night from May 28 through May 31, on BCPS-TV (Comcast Xfinity channel 73 and Verizon FiOS channel 34).

The series also will air on weekends and evenings starting June 10 after the last BCPS high school graduation for 2021. The programs also can be viewed online: East Zone, Central Zone, and West Zone, and digital programs for each showcase are also available online.

“‘The Dance Goes On’ reveals the perseverance and creativity of our students and teachers – and their artistry,” BCPS Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams said. “Congratulations to all involved. We are so proud to offer such strong dance programs at 33 schools.”

“This year, more than ever, we are excited to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and teachers who have reimagined their performance goals for the 2020-2021 school year,” Sonia Synkowski, BCPS dance resource teacher, added. “This virtual program will feature our elementary, middle and high school curricular dance programs from across Baltimore County Public Schools.”

Each school curated a choreographed dance piece or a dance "commercial" to provide more insight into what students created during this school year. These virtual showcases were created to take the place of the usually held in-person BCPS Dance Festivals.
