Learn How To Do The "Thriller" Dance
While doing homework this morning, I was playing Michael Jackson's Thriller in the background. Of course, procrastination came to play, and I decided to try to learn how to the do the "Thriller" dance. Isn't the internet amazing?
I found a site with stills from the video, but it's hard to really know what to do from looking at pictures.
Youtube also has the Thriller video, but it's poor quality. Still, I think if someone were able to watch it and practice a few hundred times, they might be able to figure it out.
I found some videos from a MJ impersonator that are pretty good, so check them out.
And, if you're asking yourself why someone would want to learn this dance..... Well, I guess my only answer is it's cool. Trust me.
[Edit @ 4:16AM] Since I didn't stretch before my little dance excursion earlier today, my back and legs are now riddled with pain. I am officially old. [/EDIT]

Even though I don't like Michael Jackson's music at all, and am not in school, I would totally try to learn the Thriller dance in place of homework.

Thank God that site only impersonates his dancing...

Real Media player sucks...:( ... otherwise I would have probably watched them all and killed time :)

You realize that this demands pictures of you doing the dance, right?

The Thriller video scared the CRAP out of me when I was little. So much so that I had nightmares for weeks. What kind of mother let's her 4-year-old daughter watch a video like that? Apparently, mine.

I keep meaning to learn it. So I can bust it out at weddings and whatnot. Like that seen in 13 Going on 30 where Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo lead an entire room of adults in an impressively choreographed dance number. That could be ME.

I loved learning it! It was fun because I was bored and none of my friends could do something. Next school year, here I come dancing Thriller! WOO!

I'm going to learn the Thriller dance with 2 other friends because we're doing it for drama class. We're really excited and we can't wait to learn it!!

Thank you! I've been trying to learn the Thriller and have been having a hard time figuring it out. It still has some hard moves, though...

oh-my-gosh! I woke up this morning & had a strange craving to watch 13 GOING ON 30 & when the cast danced to this at a party I totally had another craving to learn it; so, I went to this site and learned it! So now when I go to school dances I will be the only one who can dance THRILLER!! AH
