Hey Everyone! What are you doing Saturday, October 24th at 5:30pm (pt)?
Join us for 'Thrill The World' 2009 - a worldwide attempt to hold the World Record for the Largest Simultaneous Dance of Michael Jackson’s Thriller!
You've seen it on Youtube, and now you can be a part of history! We will dress up in zombie gear and bust out the moves in a public place (to be announced) come Thrill The World performance day. It doesn't matter if you are a "dancer".... This is an amazing time to pay tribute to the legendary performer and creative artist- a tribute beyond tributes- and a way to fuse the community of San Diego together, ultimately forming dance/music harmony around the globe.
THE GOAL around the world: 270,000 participants to break a Guinness World Record. In October 2008, Thrill the World set a new world record with the Record Holders Republic, with 4,179 people from 10 nations simultaneously performing the Thriller dance.
Thousands of people in over 100 cities, on 6 continents, learn the Thriller dance, and perform it at the same time.
We want San Diego to be a big success this year.... and we want you all involved!
Ways get started and get involved:
1) Reserve Sat. 10/24 @ 5:30pm on your calendar (actually plan on being at the venue an hour before for rehearsal)!
2) Spread the word.... to your friends and family; anyone can be involved as long as they register (prior to or on the performance date). I will send details soon.
3) Follow this blog! Post the link!

4) Watch Michael Jackson's Thriller, and get familiar with the moves and incredible tune. If you've learned the dance before, just know, it will be a bit varied (see #4).
4) Learn the steps from the World Organizer herself on Youtube:

The great thing is you can do the majority of rehearsing from your very own home.
5) Rehearse!!! With us!!!! We will meet and rehearse the dance by breaking it down! Please check out the blog, email, or Facebook for rehearsals. It would be great if everyone could come to at least two rehearsals (one the day of and another on your schedule). The rest can be done at home or with friends via internet.
