Welcome, Seattle Thrillers! 2009

The FUNK of FORTY THOUSAND YEARS!

October 2009 marks the 26th Anniversary of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Thrill The World is the worldwide attempt to break the world record for the largest simultaneous Thriller dance. Thriller groups all across America and in other nations will join together at the same exact time performing the Thriller dance. We are organizing a local group to perform for this event on October 24, 2009 at Occidental Park in Pioneer Square, 5:30 pm.

If you live in the greater Seattle area and would like to learn the dance in a class setting, check our calendar for rehearsal dates. Our rehearsals and participation in the event are free, however, we are raising money for Seattle Children's Hospital and AOK Friends (feeds the homeless). We will make this announcement and accept donations at all rehearsals and on October 24th at our big event. If you have any questions you may directly e-mail me, Sheri Kinley.

Our exclusive radio partner for this event is WARM 106.9. They will promote the Seattle Thrillers' dance performance (and world record-breaking attempt) on the air, online at their station website, and they will be there on-site as well to broadcast their air signal to the dancers when they play “Thriller” on the air.
