Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” began playing at the Lewis-Palmer Spaceball last weekend. This popular song can make anyone want to get up and dance, but all eyes turned to senior Ethan Liss as he climbed up on the speakers  and began to dance.

Liss first performed to this song when he did the boys poms halftime routine at the Powderpuff game during homecoming week. He had his own solo in which he danced to “Shake It Off.” Since then, everyone expects Liss to dance his solo at school dances when this song plays.

“I feel like it’s expected of me now. It’s something I just had to do; I gave the people what they wanted,” Liss said.

While many people find the idea of dancing on stage in front of all your peers scary, Liss has no problem showing off his dance moves to his fellow students at school dances. “Shake It Off” has become Liss’s signature song.

“‘Shake It Off’ is my song, it brings me back to dancing with the poms team. I just had to dance to this song. I just thought ‘here goes nothing’,” Liss said.

This was Liss’s last snowball dance because he will be graduating this year. Liss soaked up the last moments of his last all-grades dance by hanging out with friends and having a few dance solos on stage.

“I had a great time rocking out. My girlfriend couldn’t be there with me, so I just ran around with my friends and had fun,” Liss said.

The entire crowd turned and watched Liss as he danced his solo on stage. There were varying reactions, but most people laughed and enjoyed the performance.

“Everyone’s reactions were priceless. I just enjoy being goofy and making people laugh,” Liss said.

Liss also danced to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” and Mackelmore’s “Thrift Shop.”

“I stayed on stage and danced to ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and ‘Thrift Shop’ because [they] may be [some] of the last songs to dance to in high school.” Liss said

Liss put on an entertaining performance for those who attended snowball this year. His dance moves will definitely be remembered at Lewis-Palmer high school.
