Dancer Relations captains took the stage around 6:10 p.m. on Friday to perform the first line dance of THON 2024.

The annual line dance summarized all Penn State, national, and international news and excitement from the previous year, including references to the Eisenhower sinkhole, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and the beloved Washington D.C. pandas returning to China.

You can watch the full line dance video here, recorded by Onward State’s Hailey Stutzman.
