"THRILL the WORLD" ~ Knoxville

This year, we did something really fun as a family... We were part of "THRILL THE WORLD" ...

Thrill the World is an annual international dance event and world record breaking attempt, in which participants simultaneously emulate the zombie dance seen in the music video of Micheal Jackson's "Thriller".. The dancers perform in unison at locations throughout the world, and can range from pre-teens to the elderly.

We had over 150 dancers in our location and it was so much fun... We practiced at a dance studio one night prior to the event to learn the dance and then we were on our way...

I got clothes from the $1 sale at the Goodwill to cut up, found a great recipe for homemade blood from Steve Spangler science (thanks to my friend Fran), used alot of baby powder, and old make-up... and we looked quite scary...

You can see other videos of this dance around the world on YouTube...

The night ended up raising money for the American Cancer Society and also donating canned goods to an area food bank...
