Predicting The THON 2019 Line Dance

Dancer Relations captains, it’s almost time to head to the stage.

THON is just days away and soon enough, we’ll hear the ever-present line dance like clockwork throughout those 46 hours in the BJC. The line dance takes a year’s worth of memorable moments and breaks it down into the anthem of the dance marathon.

Unfortunately, former editor Steve Connelly has graduated. Where is he now? He might be doing something related to that PR degree he got in 2019. Maybe he finally opened that sports bar named after one of his photos, the Blurry Zamboni. Or he might just be eating chicken tenders and couch surfing. Anything’s possible.
