THON 2021 dancers share their favorite memories from the weekend psu.edu - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from psu.edu Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Every THON weekend, dancers crowd the floors of the Bryce Jordan Center to stand for 46 hours. This year though, theyâll be standing in their apartments, watching a virtual livestream and trying to stay awake without the help of a crowd.
THON provides students a chance to raise money each year to help children with pediatric cancer. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, THON will be held virtually this year from Feb. 19-21.
THON has recommended dancers do not stand for the full 46 hours this year for safety reasons, according to some dancers. THON has taken measures to make sure dancers get sleep by streaming loops of videos from earlier in the event from 12 to 6 a.m. on both nights.
