Dance With Us!!


Join the Greater Binghamton Penn State Alumni
And Support the Penn State Dancers at THON

Friday, February 8, 2013
5:00-7:00pm
Dancescapes
11 Willow Street, Johnson City

THON is giving everyone a chance to get in on the dance!  We are going to learn the 30 second line dance and submit a video of us doing it, as will with thousands of other Penn Staters across the globe.  Clips will then be aired during THON weekend to boost morale for the dancers and show the world who WE ARE!

**NO DANCE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!!**

A huge THANK YOU to Nichole Monico, owner of Dancescapes, for the use of her studio!!

We ask that everyone attending wear their favorite Penn State gear or Blue and White. If you have an old THON shirt...by all means wear it!

We will have our chapter THON can out to accept donations.

After we have created our amazing video, anyone that would like to go out afterwards for food and drinks are welcome to join! Place TBD by group choice!
