While Onward State was dodging bouncy balls down on the floor and scoping out the scene, we came across dancer Ian Hochberger from York, Pennsylvania and asked him a few questions. Ian is the THON child for Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Chi and he is dancing this year!
Read on past the break for a full interview.
The line dance is one of the most memorable parts of THON, something that from year to year dancers and spectators alike carry with them in their memories of THON. The finished product usually takes runs about five minutes long, and takes the better part of an hour to teach to the dancers, but the creation process takes months.
Line Dance Coordinator Jaci Mayer explains what goes into making one of THON's most beloved traditions.
Approaching half way through THON weekend, dancers are starting to feel the fatigue. Moralers all over the floor are doing whatever they can to help their dancers stay motivated.
During an excursion onto the dance floor in the 17th hour, Onward State met up with dancer and CCSG President Mohamed Raouda for a brief interview.
Mo is dancing for Lion's Paw, and between training for THON, presiding over CCSG, and completing his schoolwork, he's had a very busy few weeks. This is what he had to say about his experience so far.
Drinking and THON are two things that usually don't go together. Penn State does drinking well and they do THON well-- just not at the same time.
Well, at least that's usually the case.
