A virtual THON Weekend has allowed for some new opportunities for different activities and entertaining segments to keep dancers and spectators going for 46 hours.
For THON’s first ever Dancer Pageant, nine dancers showcased one of their talents in a sixty-second video clip. From there, viewers could vote on their favorite performance by logging on to Twitter and tweeting out “#THONPageant #TeamDancerFirstName.”
Check out a play by play of these nine
very talented dancers below:
