Thriller 2017
October 28, 2017 @ 2:00 am - October 29, 2017 @ 12:00 pm PDT
We’ll be dancing simultaneously with groups all over the world as part of a global event, Thrill the World. This will be the 7th year World Dance for Humanity is hosting the experience, which will include flashmobs all over town leading up to Halloween. On Sunday, Oct. 29th, we’ll take Thriller to Santa Ynez Valley, with flashmobs in the town squares and wineries, culminating in a Michael Jackson tribute at the gates of Neverland and a funk soul dance party at Cold Spring Tavern.
For the first time, we’ll also be teaching and performing Thriller and doing flashmobs in Carpinteria in partnership with the Carpinteria Art Center. Come to one, a few, or all of the practices!
