Meet Our 2018 Cover Model Search Semifinalists!

January 7, 2018

Each month in 2017, we chose one 2018 Cover Model Search semifinalist from the pool of very talented entrants on dancemedia.com. Last week, we selected our December winner—which means we now have all 12 of our 2018 Cover Model Search semifinalists. And what does that mean? It means that one of the lovely ladies below will be our Cover Model Search winner, gracing our October 2018 cover!

Over the next month, the other Dance Spirit editors and I will narrow this already choice group down to three finalists, who’ll come to NYC for a week of classes, photo shoots, and Broadway show outings. You’ll get to meet them all in our July/August issue, and vote for your favorite from June 15–July 15.

So, which of the 12 semifinalists do you think should make our top three? Click the links below to check out their videos and let us know! (And then get your own CMS dream started by entering your best dance video in next year’s contest, which kicks off this month.)
