Thriller is much easier than you think!
All the moves you’ll need are in the first 3-minutes of the dance! And yes, we will doing the FULL VERSION this year!
Learn at home
Watch the official instructional video online. Below is the demonstration of the dance. DO NOT PANIC! Ines’ series of videos break everything down and go very slowly. 
Once you did one of the first two, you should also download the dance script so you can follow along.
Helpful hints to learning the dance . . .
Go over the moves while waiting for your shower to get hot. Do it while waiting for a hot pot to boil. Even do it while waiting in line! Put your head phones on and practice ANYWHERE!
.
Come to our practices!
Once we have a schedule, you can come to one of our sessions scheduled at all sorts of times all over Los Angeles County.
What to bring:
- Your fantastic self. And some friends. Yes, please do bring the kids. They *can* participate on Thrill Day (with a release form from you.) We’d suggest 6 and up but hey, there is not reason why you can’t bring the little ones to the park with ya!
- Water. Please bring your own bottle. And if you’d like to bring one more to share, that’s totally cool.
- Wear comfy clothes. Depending on location and time of day, it could be blazing heat or a little bit chilly. Layers work best.
