Predicting The THON 2024 Line Dance

As former Onward State editor Steve Connelly once said, “Dancer Relations captains, it’s almost time to head to the stage.”

With THON 2024 just hours away and anticipation rising, we bet you’re probably wondering what this year’s line dance will sound like.

The line dance’s lyrics compile the past year’s most memorable moments with references to Penn State happenings, pop culture, worldwide events, and TikTok trends.
