An annual worldwide simultaneous
dance of "Thriller".

You can learn the Thriller Dance in person at my workshops.  (2026 workshop schedule Schedule posted below) or online lessons at the Official Thrill The World website **.  There are 8 lessons.  Be sure to download the dance script .pdf  and SAY THE WORDS (i.e. "March right, left, right...") as you practice.  It will help you remember the moves!​​

*Original Thriller choreography by Michael Peters.  Thrill The World Clarkdale dancers perform a modified version to fit the 5 min. 57 sec. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" hit single.
