Thrill The World

Last Sat. I had the crazy idea to take a free dance class taught by my friend Akiko at a local park. At first I watched and video tape it for home practice. The dance is to Michael Jackson's Thriller song. On Oct. 23 Thrill The World event will take place all over the globe where at 2 specific times people will dance the 6 minute routine. Check out http://www.thrilltheworld.com/events

Since it's a dead people zombie dance, and I sort of move like a stiff zombie anyway, and I love dancing, I thought why not? I wont participate for 2010 but maybe in 1011 I would be ok. I only guessing but since Ive been practicing and following the Thrill The World video clips, Ive noticed an increase it being able to walk be it in the house or on new and unfamiliar territory. I tried ballroom dancing but it sort of is not my cup of tea although it brought improvement also.

My friend Akiko uses this same dance for her group Dance for Oceans to bring awareness to the pollution which comes from plastics. http://dance4oceans.blogspot.com/
