What is "Thrill the World" ?

Thrill The World is a worldwide organization to celebrate the genius of Michael Jackson and his commitment to better the world.  Thousands of people in cities around the world learn the “Thriller” dance and perform it together on the day that Thrill The World takes place !! 

 

The purpose of 'Thrill The World' is to bring people together.  

 

We want to connect the world, in fun, celebration and dance, and to bring people together from all walks of life.  

In addition to sharing the joy of dance, the celebration of community and the passion for living,  Thrill The World was created so that each event could be used to raise money for a local charity. 

To this day, 'Thriller' is still a popular and well-known video that crosses boundaries of language, culture, and geography. We believe that this is largely due to the amazing choreography. Don’t think so? Do the “roar” move anywhere, at any point, and without fail someone will yell, “Thriller!” The movements are iconic and easily recognizable.

Best of all, “Thriller” is an easy dance to learn, when taught the way Thrill The World teaches it. We could do the Chicken Dance, or Hokey-Pokey, or the Macarena. But it wouldn’t be the same as paying tribute to the humanitarian that was Michael Jackson. 

In October of 2005, Thrill The World Creator & Director, Ines Markeljevic, had read an article entitled, “Thriller at Dundas Square.” She thought that a large “Thriller” dance had passed her by. As luck would have it, she didn’t! “Phew! Glad I didn’t miss it,” she said to herself. A few days later decided to make it happen… a worldwide “Thriller” dance. The idea exploded and we broke world records!

You can learn the dance right here on the website. Our “Zombie Guide” section will teach you everything you need to know using videos, audio and the dance script.
