THRILL THE WORLD YOUNGSTOWN

WHAT IS THRILL THE WORLD?

Thrill The World is friends, families and other local residents who each year join together with thousands of other people around the globe to break the World Record for the Largest Simultaneous Dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”! More importantly, TTW is more than just dancing to a 6 minute song–

The broader goal is unity among all the peoples of the world, humanitarianism and environmental stewardship.

WELCOME TO THRILL THE WORLD  2013!

Zombies all over the globe are already planning for Thrill The World 2014!   The event was founded in 2006 in Toronto, and has now spread to six continents!  Every October thousands of  people/zombies around the world come together  to honor the genius of Michael Jackson and raise funds for charity–oh! and to have fun, too!

HOW DO WE DO IT?

Every October,  Zombies across the world synchronize to  dance to “Thriller” at exactly the same time.  Preparation for the dance is part of the fun but the feeling of being connected to people thinking and doing the same thing at the same time, celebrating a true inspirational genius of Michael Jackson, is what keeps people coming back year after year.  Also, knowing what bad dancers Zombies are, it helps people indulge,  renew or even discover the joy of dance, without having any fear (what do I look like? Am I any good? ) Zombies don’t do fear!!!

RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITY

Michael was all about giving back so each local event is free to choose the charity of their choice and raise funds. THRILL THE WORLD YOUNGSTOWN has chosen CANINE CRUSADERS, a local 501c3 non-profit organization.

LEARNING THE DANCE

To learn the dance we all use the specially adapted choreography based on the music video.  We have detailed instructions developed by TTW founder, Ines Markeljevic, who guides you through each step.  Once you get started on learning the choreography, you’ll realize it’s surprisingly easy and you’ll be ready to Thrill the World!!

HOW IT WORKS

People in cities around the world dance to “Thriller” at exactly the same time.  Preparation and counting down worldwide is part of the fun but the feeling of being connected to others and dancing together as one is a Thrill like no other!  Celebrating the truly inspirational genius of Michael Jackson in a living and moving way — is what keeps people coming back year after year.
