Thon Dancers ‘shake and bake’

Collegian Staff Writer

The floor of the Bryce Jordan Center is a sea of yellow, green, red, orange and blue waves as 702 dancers and 702 moralers jump, twist and stretch learning the line dance.

Even the crowd is joining in with the moves.

The line dance includes Penn State, pop culture and political allusions.

Referencing Penn State’s football season, dancers pretended to be like Paul Posluszny, "Puz," drawing black lines under their eyes.

Suggesting a joke from Talladega Nights, dancers "shake and bake" then "bring it back" like Justin Timberlake.

A little more serious, dancers curtsey singing about the first woman speaker of the house.

The dance also teases technology such as the "creepy" Facebook feed and how WebMail 2 "drops the ball."

The dance will be performed every hour.
