Local zombies wanted for worldwide ‘Thriller’ dance

Coming up in Santa Rosa the next three Sundays is a chance to learn to dance like someone not entirely dead and, perhaps, to set a world record.

Free workshops at the Dance Center are intended for anyone interested in taking part in a worldwide pre-Halloween performance of Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” video.

The idea is that on Oct. 28, enough people will dance the dance at the same time to make the record books.

This is not the first “Thrill the World” event, but it’s the first in Sonoma County. Last year, according to thrilltheworld.com, an estimated 4,535 temporary zombies did their thing at 96 registered events around the world.

Organizing the Santa Rosa performance, scheduled for 9 a.m. on the 28th at the Dance Center on West 6th Street, is Ellen Murray.

“It’s just totally for fun,” she said. A former Dance Center hip hop teacher, Ellen hopes for a nice, big crowd of all kinds of people.

Participants need not have any dance experience, she said, and they must be old enough only to not “freak out at people dressed up as zombies.”

To register or receive more details, drop Ellen an email at thrilltheworldthedancecenter@gmail.com.

Preparatory workshops happen at the dance studio this Sunday and the following two at 11:30 a.m.
