Thrill The World OC

THRILLAH… THRILLER NIGHT~ DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUN DUN…
In honor of the beloved King of Pop, I decided to terrify the world by dancing along to «Thriller.» Although, my actual dancing is pretty scary, too. Each year, beginning in 2007, people all over the world participate in the «Thrill the World» event as a charity fundraiser and attempt to break the Guinness World Record. 2009’s event set a new world record. The dance is performed and coordinated internationally so that everyone is doing the Thriller at the exact same time. How awesome is that?! There are hundreds of cities all over the world that register for this annual event so you can do some research online and find one near you. We decided on doing it in the OC rather than LA last year because LA’s parking issues and accommodations seemed more inconvenient.
To learn the dance, you can purchase the dance DVD, attend weekend classes, or just watch the instructional dance videos posted on YouTube by choreographer Ines Markeljevic and learn it in one night like I did. Here is the link:
However, I highly do NOT recommend attempting to learn it the night before, if possible. And if you are a SUPER procrastinator, you can even learn it the day of by one of the on-​site choreographers but I guarantee you will not feel confident when people are photographing and filming you!
This is an open event for everyone, young and old, uncoordinated amateurs and seasoned pros, and usually held in October. So find the nearest venue and participate! It is so much fun AND IT’S FREE. ;)
