Thrill the World (TTW) started out in 2006 as a “cool idea” by Ines Markelle with only 62 dancers in Canada paying tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson. The team set the First Guinness World Record for the “Largest Thriller Dance In One Location” and since has exploded into an international dance phenomenon.
In 2007, TTW went world wide, 1,722 dancers in 52 cities on 5 continents. Setting two world records for Largest Simultaneous Thriller Dance with the World Records Academy & the Record Holders Republic.
In 2008 Thrill The World Los Angeles (TTWLA) was formed and held it’s first annual “Thriller” dance event at Hollywood and Highland with 112 dancers.
In 2009 “Thriller” went viral! Nearly 2000 dancers thrilled LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. TTWLA danced for it’s first charity partner Inner City Arts, which kicked off a movement within the LA team.
….and where we are going
TTWLA will continue to be a part of the annual world wide record breaking event and paying tribute to a great singer, amazing dancer and dedicated humanitarian; Micheal Jackson. TTWLA will continue to spread peace, love and charity through the art of dance; as Michael expressed himself.
Thrill the World Los Angeles is a group of everyday average-Joes’ from all walks of life coming together to entertain the public, support various charities that service the needs of our communities.
