For 46 hours this weekend, the Bryce Jordan Center floor is covered in a sea of 708 dancers, the vast majority of which are Penn State students representing various THON organizations. Within that crowd lies the rare exception to the rule: alumni dancers.
When dancers feel sore, they head over the trainer's room just a few steps away from the floor where ATC assesses their injures and provides proper treatment through a combination of ice baths, heat therapy, massages, and ankle and arch taping. In just a matter of minutes, dancers are back on their feet.
Urban Dance Troupe has made big strides since it came to University Park in 2005. One of those was creating a new way to dance at THON.
THON is the one place where it is completely acceptable to wear a fanny pack. For your viewing pleasure, we discovered the best fanny packs of the weekend.
We sat down (figuratively, of course) with Ohana Logistics Executive Nikki DeVito for 10 questions about THON, Ohana, and the BIG weekend for Special Interest Orgs.
