What started as a back-to-school block party at LSU has now gone global after a woman was filmed twerking from the balcony of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center (PMAC). With thousands of students gathered below, the moment quickly went viral social media, with one reporter calling it “Poppin’ at the PMAC.”

The dancer, who goes by Sasha, told WAFB she and her crew, including viral singer Mel, weren’t paid to perform. “It was not no strategic plan behind it. It’s just what we did when we had to turn the crowd up,” she explained.
Cheers and Criticism
While many students laughed, cheered, and recorded the performance from every angle imaginable, some officials weren’t amused.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill released a statement saying the impromptu show wasn’t the kind of image LSU should promote. “A twerk fest outside the PMAC tarnishes the image of a school with much to be proud of,” Murrill said.
