“I get paid to dance around”
Published on March 25, 2008 by The Sentinel
Resident celebrity Bryan Gaynor has been working in the Student
Center as a Security Guard since August 2007. He patrols the premises
during his shift hours, which happen to be from midnight until 5 a.m.

Now, the Student Center does not have much activity after midnight, and what is Bryan supposed to do during those long hours? Take a wild guess. The star from hit show “So You Think You Can Dance?” practices his dancing!
At any given time during the night, one can see Bryan dancing around the giant leaning man statue on the second floor of the Student Center. “I don’t mind if people come and watch me. Usually though my audience consists of the Leaning Man, occasional late-night studiers, and the janitorial staff.”
“I basically get paid to dance around and practice my moves,” says Gaynor, at 4 a.m.
“When there isn’t much activity, I just put on my headphones and dance.”
Now hear this: Gaynor takes his job seriously. However, he loves to pass the time by doing what he knows best.
“I come here to make sure there is no strange activity, and make sure the doors are locked. I just have to make sure that everything is under control,” says Gaynor.
“But I can’t help it when there’s not much to do,” concludes Gaynor. “Sometimes I just have to have a jam session. I just get up and dance.”
