One of the most fun and nostalgic practices of the Final Four is counting down the line dances of the last four years, which leads up to the one of last performances of the 2017 line dance.

Anyone who’s not a senior won’t remember all four line dances, but even then, our seniors at their last THON might need a refresher. Here’s a recap of the last four line dances along with the lyrics and memorable moments from each of them:
