Sarah & Andrew Lead THON 2025 Dancer Names

As thousands of students gear up to return to the Bryce Jordan Center for THON, the organization released the names of the 708 dancers who will take the floor for the 46-hour dance marathon.

With 12 representatives, Sarah is definitively the most popular female dancer name for THON 2025, followed by Andrew with nine representatives for the most popular male dancer name.

Emma, Grace, Olivia, Ryan, and Emily come in a close second, tied at eight dancers apiece. With no nicknames listed for either, there’s no tie-breaker here.

Last year, Emily, Olivia, and Grace were the top three names, followed by Justin, Alyssa, Julia, and Megan. Ryan remains the same as last year with eight representatives.

Sarah, Andrew, Sophia, and Brooke are all newcomers to the list, with Sarah and Andrew taking the lead.

Michael, Julia, and Megan, who are normally in the top 15, weren’t a popular dancer name this year.

Good luck to all Sarahs, Andrews, Emmas, Graces, Olivias, Ryans, Emilys, and anyone in between who will take the floor of the Bryce Jordan Center this weekend. We dance in four!
