Anyone who would like to take part in 2010 'Thrill the World' which is the Worldwide simultaneous dance held accross the world on Saturday October 23rd at 12pm lunchtime, then email me at thrillermania@hotmail.co.uk also sugestions for a venue. Maybe we dont need one and should just do it on Bolton town hall square? Workshops to learn the dance will start in September. Ideas needed for a cheap venue.

A massive thanks to all who took part in our thriller world record attempt. We did beat the record that we were told about, unfortunataly Mexico held one at the same time with nearly 13000!! Oh well. Special thanks to all who raised sponsorship money including the following primary schools, Heathfield, Ladybridge, The Gates and Queensbridge.
On Friday 20th November 26 zombies went to the Children in Need party at The Blue Planet Aquarium. We danced live on BBC1 and presented a cheque for £1439.99 to Children in Need

 

Well done EVERYONE!!! You where all amazing. 

On Halloween 31st October 2009, 285 zombies took to the floor to perform the 'thriller' dance 
at Harper Green Leisure Centre, Farnworth, Bolton, England

A few will need to be discounted but i think will will still beat the last official record set on 19 April 2009 
at Williamsburg, Virginia of 242 (my opinion, lets wait for Guinness)

Here is a bit of edited film from the evening. I know

its not to the music as its just a quick edit. More video to follow

;

 

This is a dance that anyone can do and is aimed at people with little or no dance training. I guess that covers most of us. Watch the video below, taken at last years event. I am the 55 year old man in the middle (front row) and my daughter, who is 17 years old is front row far right as you look at it. Neither of us has danced before.   Each series of steps has a phrase that goes with it so if you can say it you can do it.

What do I need to do?

  Learn the dance .  This can be done by coming along to the workshops and or following the dvd. 

This video was filmed at The Bolton Bazaar to promote the upcoming World Record attempt

 

Last year 2009 1.30am!!!!! for 'Thrill the World. Are we MAD or are we insomniacs?

 

 2008 saw Bolton getting involved in 'Thrill the World' as 112 people did the 'Zombie' dance from Michael Jacksons Thriller Video. The event attracted quite a lot of media interest and was covered by ITV Granada reports, Channel M, Bolton News and the Manchester Evening News. We all had so much fun that we decided there and then to go HUGE in 2009
