“Thriller” dance craze takes NYC
It appears that last week’s Thrill the World dance celebration may have only been the warm-up act.
Fans of Michael Jackson and the Quincy-produced “Thriller” will congregate Thursday (Oct. 30) at Madame Tussauds in New York City’s Times Square in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing the “Thriller” dance -– made famous in the ground-breaking video -– at the same time.
The timing couldn’t be better as this attempt falls one day before Halloween and as fans around the world are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Thriller, the best-selling album of all time.
Madame Tussauds New York is located at 234 W. 42nd street (between 7th and 8th Aves.) Doors open for sign up at 8 a.m. Participants can take a “Thriller” dance lesson, get a zombie makeover, and take a photo with Madame Tussauds’ Michael Jackson wax likeness. The record-recording attempt will take place at 10 a.m.
Team Quincy will have a camera on hand to record all the madness for a future episode of The Quincy Jones Show podcast. For now, you can take a look at the original “Thriller” video in all its gory glory below.
