When I agreed to go and see Shaun of the Dead at IMAX I didn't expect to be honouring one of the world's most famous dances... Thriller!
I remember seeing the Thriller film clip for the first time as a kid - I would have been all of four or five years old and it scared the beejiibers out of me! I couldn't sleep for days and I kept seeing zombies rising out of the carpet of my bedroom floor.
Twenty years later and I have to admit, learning the Thriller dance is more fun then watching the famous film clip. At first I was a little timid. my zombie walk was not so zombie like, and my shoulder tap, so scary but once I heard the music start there was no stopping me.
Rachael my Thriller wing man was just as excited about learning the dance (see clip below), so much so that we've decided to enter Vancouver's Thrill The World Day on the 24th October which will see all of Vancouver lining up to do the dance in the same place at the same time to raise money for the Vancouver Food Bank.
Just remember if you're trying to give it a go try reciting the following... step, nothing, step, shoulder, shoulder step shoulder step...it doesn't help that much, but once you hear the music MJ will show you the way.
N.B - Sorry for the side on view - was trying to dance and film at the same time!
