Thriller Record Set in Austin

Posted by Miss Cellania in World Records on October 27, 2008 at 9:37 am



Last year, the project Thrill the World brought 1722 people together around the world for a simultaneous Thriller dance. The event was repeated Saturday, with 3960 zombie dancers participating! The largest group was in Austin, Texas, where 881 dancers did the Thriller dance together on the patio at the Long Center. Thrill the World Austin has video and links to many pictures of the event.

    caitlin13 - me too, but with a couple kids I couldn't see standing around for 4 hours in the sun, would have been a nightmare...no pun intended.

    Queers, scot? I don't think sexual preference had anything to do with it. Otherwise, the song would be "It's Raining Men".

    This whole Thriller thing is just bizarre to me. Haven't there been any other interesting group dances since the 80's?

    Sure, Ted. But does anybody want to see 1,000 people do the Macarena?
