Pop Choreography Dance Tutorial: "Thriller" Dance by Michael Jackson

"It's close to midnight...
Something evil's lurking from the dark..."

Easily one of the greatest music videos of all time - Michael Jackson's "THRILLER" is a pop culture staple, especially with Halloween only a few days away! The timeless zombie choreography has been danced over and over again by generations of people, and I predict that we'll continue to learn the iconic moves for years to come.

The "Thriller" choreography holds a special place in my dance instructor heart. I learned and taught it for the first time (to my high school drill team) when I was 15-years-old. Since then, I've had the pleasure to teach it several times over - to kids in a studio dance class, to adults for a charity event, to a Zumba class, for a flash mob performance, and most recently (a few days ago) to adults at a Music Video Workshop! I could truly (and happily) dance these moves in my sleep. Now I have a dream to teach "Thriller" to THOUSANDS of people with this online, step-by-step tutorial - and I hope you'll stand up and learn it, too!

So get your zombie claws ready, and let's learn "THRILLER!"
