Fallston High School

2000 is a year recalled fondly by members of Fallston High School's dance team club. At the same time, it's one the dancers would like to forget. It was the year when the school founded the team. It also was the year when the dance troupe, led by a science teacher with no dance expertise, performed at just four school athletic functions and finished 31st out of 36 teams at a regional competition. "We didn't know what we were doing, but we made do with what we had," said Carrie Cummings, an earth science teacher who has been the coach of the team since the beginning.

The 11 members of the Fallston High School Dance Team have the same mindset when they compete. They practice hard before the competition, and then it's all about team spirit, said AnnaMarie Neunabor, one of the team's three captains. "When we compete, we go to have fun," Neunabor said. "If we win, we win, and if we don't, then we don't. We never know how we'll do in a competition, we just know we're going to do our best." The odds seemed to be against the team this year because they lost six of their senior members last year.
