What is Thrill The World?

Thrill The World is an annual worldwide simultaneous dance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”  Every October, since 2006, Funky Zombies across the globe gather to synchronize their watches and dance to the greatest selling record of all time – Michael Jackson’s Thriller!

Volunteer event organizers in cities around the world organize events using the Thrill The World leaders manual and Thrill The World tool box.

Anyone can organize an event! No age requirement or experience necessary! And there is no limit to the number of events in each city!

Each event raises money for a local or not-for-profit charity of their choice.

All official Thrill The World events are included in the numbers for setting and breaking world records.

Ines Markeljevic – Creator of Thrill The World

Ines began dancing, in front of the TV, at age 3 to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Her formal dance career began at age 16 at Eastwood Collegiate Institute in Kitchener, Ontario. It was here that Ines first learned the choreography for “Thriller” from her dance teacher Janis Price. Ines then taught the dance to other dance and drama students to perform it for the Halloween Spirit Assembly.

Ines completed her dance studies at York University. She went on to become a certified STOTT Pilates Instructor, a CAN-FIT-PRO Fitness Instructor Specialist and a dance instructor and choreographer of hip hop, salsa and contemporary dance. Her choreography for Mambo Mosaic, a 32-person Salsa Chess Game, premiered at the Canada Salsa Congress 2006. Her kids dance company, Lil’ Miss Fitz, won gold at Stomp 2007.

Since daring to inspire the world to dance, Ines has been blessed to travel around the world. She hopes to continue good fortune, sharing her joy of dance with people everywhere. So if you think you can’t dance… Ines is here to take on the challenge and show you that anyone can dance!

Thank you to everyone who has, is, and will contribute to making the dream come true: to inspire the world to dance!
