Every hour on the hour DanceBlue participants dance in a 10-minute long line dance to kick-off each themed hour of dancing. All dancers learn the dance together at the start of the marathon. Then the line dance remains the same throughout the night and all dancers gather on the dance floor to do the line dance together each hour. The line dance signifies our commitment to dancing for 24 hours and reenergizes everyone. The themed hours of dancing, which begin after the line dance is completed, gives dancers the opportunity to socialize, eat, play games and disperse throughout Memorial Coliseum. But when the top of the hour approaches, all dancers congregate in the main area to do the line dance and show the kids and their families that we truly are committed to dancing for them.
