Slides Of Strength

At about the 2 a.m. mark, slides of strength took place. It was definitely messy, but the dancers enjoyed a break from their feet.

Lots Of Line Dancing

The number of times “Dancer Relations captains report to the stage” was played over the speaker was forgotten in the depths of the night. However, the entire Bryce Jordan Center came alive each time. For a refresher on the line dance lyrics, check out the song in full here.
