“State Lines,” choreographed by Josie Lewis (’26) was the sixth dance performed during the evening. Accompanying Lewis were her fellow dancers: Lia Fresenius (’27), Ellie Grumbles (’27), Emma Jennings (’25), Patrick Keith (’26), and Abegail Trigo (’25).

On May 7, at 7 p.m. in the Clark Center, AGHS Dance Co. performed numerous dance numbers. The numbers varied from solo performances to large group numbers. The overall performance was approximately an hour and a half, and the dancers performed 31 numbers. AGHS Dance Co. performers started practicing their numbers in August, 2024. There were also guest performers from both San Luis Obispo High School’s Dance Team and Static Charge Dance Company. The entire evening was directed by Shelby Vidal-Solis.

AVA AND EMMA DUO EDIT

Ava Pacaoan ('25) and Emma Jennings ('25) worked together to choreograph and perform the duet, "Getting older." The dance drew emotion out of the crowd, as it was a bittersweet piece about both girls growing up and aging-out of dancing together. Projected behind them was a slideshow of photos together, covering their 15 years of friendship.
