Predicting The THON 2020 Line Dance

As former Onward State editor Steve Connelly wrote a year ago, “Dancer Relations captains, it’s almost time to head to the stage.”

With THON quickly approaching this weekend, the year-long wondering of what will be included in this year’s line dance is reaching an all-time high. For the uninitiated, the line dance is the song that dancer relations captains perform on stage every hour during THON as a way to help dancers loosen up and stay alert.

The song’s made up of references to the biggest local and world news stories, songs, and memes of the last year. And it’s become a favorite among THON-goers. Ask anyone who’s been to THON for an extended period in the past, and they’ll be sure to recite lyrics like “Blast off, BJC!” and “Boom! Stomp! Bring the thunder!”

Our staff took a stab at attempting at what will be included in this year’s line dance. Here’s what we’re hoping to hear this weekend:
