THRILL THE WORLD with us!



THRILL THE WORLD
A Worldwide Guinness Record Breaking Attempt
Learn the Dance Friday night in the parking lot at the Alamo South Lamar!
Perform the dance Saturday afternoon at The Long Center!


For the past few months, we've been gearing up for one of the most exciting events this Halloween season has to offer - Thrill the World, Austin. On Saturday afternoon at 1pm, we're going to gather hundreds, possibly thousands, of Austinites on the City Terrace at the Long Center, and then we're all going to do the Thriller dance.

While we're dancing here, there will be simultaneous dancers all over the world - in 92 other cities, to be exact - doing the exact same dance at the exact same time.

There are two records we're going to try to break this year. One of them will be for the most dancers worldwide, and we're pretty sure we'll beat last year's score by a lot. But the other record, the one we really want to smash, is for the most people doing the Thriller dance in one location. All of the other cities will be trying to be part of that record, and we need to make sure it comes home to the Undead Music Capital of the World.

To help us do that, you'll need to learn the official Thrill the World choreography, but it's not too late to do that! You can start by just finding Ines' instructional videos on YouTube. Even better, though, you can come to the Alamo South Lamar Friday night, where we'll be leading a full dance lesson in the parking lot by the theater from 7:30pm to around 10pm. By the end of that one lesson, you'll know the dance well enough to participate on Saturday!

Even if you can't come out and dance with us on Saturday, though, you can still come down to the Long Center and watch!

And because that's not nearly enough Zombie Dancing fun for Austin, we're going to reprise the dance again on Saturday, November 1, as part of Mexic-Arte's Day of the Dead processional down Sixth Street!
