We dance in one (!) which means it’s almost time to hear a song we will hear more than 46 times for the first time — the Line Dance. Perhaps the second biggest reveal of THON weekend, it’s always exciting to hear the Line Dance for the first time to see what THON thought was most important since the last 46-hour dance marathon.

A year is defined in a lot of ways, but every year I think the line dance and THON do a really good job in defining a year by its most pivotal moments and stories, both at Penn State and across the world. So again this year I’ve been keeping track of everything that’s happened at Penn State and across the country to try my hand at predicting what will be in the 2018 Line Dance. For the final time in my Penn State career, check out what we think will make the cut:
