[Video] An Interview With Line Dance Leader Gina DeFrancesco

The line dance leader is often considered one of the many faces of THON. Not even the Executive Committee gets as much stage time as the person in front of the crew leading the line dance. Though there are other dancer relations captains and committee leaders who get to do the line dance on stage, the leader is always in the front of the pack (unless she’s sleeping)
