Thanks to the incredible people over at ThrillTheWorld.com and their founder, Ines Markeljevic, they have developed a very user-friendly way to learn the Thriller dance. They even have scripts and ipod tutorials!
(THIS
SECTION IS OUTDATED. IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE RECORD BREAKING
ATTEMPT. HOWEVER, There's a lot of good info here if you want to learn
the dance!)
The version they teach is THE version we will be performing and is the
version required
per the Guinness World Record™ guidelines. We will be dancing to the
5:58 minute
version of "Thriller". The song is available on iTunes and anywhere you
can get
the album Thriller. Though, do NOT get the version
from Number Ones. It's
actually shorter and not up to Guinness World Record™ guidelines.
For those people wanting to participate who may have limited motion and
may have trouble
executing some of the more difficult moves, we will gladly work with
you to find moves
that are easier for you at the rehearsals. Concerned about the part at
the beginning where
you are on the floor? Have no fear. To accommodate people limited
mobility as well as the
stormtroopers, several start positions will be offered.
Think you can't dance? Pish posh! That's nonsense! Whether you are
professional dancer, a
Dance Dance Revolution novice, or someone who has two left feet, We
Want YOU! You don't
need to have a lot of skill to have a lot of fun!
So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to ThrillTheWorld.com
and
start LEARNING!
If you have any questions regarding the dance moves, or anything to do
with this event, we
urge you to join the FORUM.
There you will have the most up-to-date info as well as people to help
you. You may just
even make a few friends a long the way!
