People/ zombies from all over the world are already planning for Thrill the World 2012.  There are lots of great reasons to start a Thrill The World event in your city!  Besides experiencing the the wonderful sense of community with other Funky Zombies in other cities around the world, connecting with new people, contributing to good causes,  the love of dancing, and honouring the greatest entertainer of all time – people learn valuable skills that they can use long after Thrill Day when they return back to the ‘human world’:

  • Accomplishment: You get to say – “I can do the greatest dance on earth – Michael Jackson’s Thriller Routine!”
  • Free Leadership Training: gain experience to put on your resume. If you want a job as an event planner/ coordinator this is a great way to get started, even if you have little to no previous experience.
  • Earn Letters of Reference as a Thrill The World Global Team Volunteer for helping with TTW core operations.
  • Fundraise for your school, work, or club.
  • Fundraise for your chosen charity or non-profit organization.
  • High School Students: leadership project, community project, this may even count toward your volunteer hours if your region requires that. Also, volunteer and leadership work looks great on a college/university application.
  • College & University: as an independent project, with a student club, or get the whole campus involved for some positive publicity for your school.
  • Elementary School: raise money for your school, increase students’ self-confidence, positive media attention, etc.
  • Community Group or Club: get your neighborhood together, meet new people, do something fun with your friends, etc.
  • Dance Studios: gain new students — now they can dance “Thriller” so they are more apt to take on learning other dance styles too. Plus, positive publicity, media attention, visibility in your community and business exposure!
  • Businesses: develop company culture, team-building, and as with the above, positive publicity, media attention, visibility in your community and business exposure.
  • You’ve always wanted to be part of a WORLD RECORD!
  • You’ve always wanted to learn “Thriller” and now you can cross it off your Bucket List or “Things To Do Before I Die.” (PS. Funky Zombies never die!)
  • You can’t wait till Halloween parties to rush the floor (with other TTW fans, naturally!) and erupt into spontaneous choreographed dance — like a music video!

You can register to hold a public or private TW Event.
Public Event means you will allow the general public to participate your event. If you are welcoming the public it means more work in terms of promotion and setting up workshops for the public to learn the dance. Depending on how big you expect your event to be and how many participants can attend, you’ll need more or less team members accordingly. For either private or public, you can decide if you want to allow, or encourage, spectators to view the Thrill Time performance.   Small event = smaller team = less to do Big event = obviously, bigger team = much more to do


Private Event means you will not be inviting the general public to participate. You will dance only with people in your community/ that you know: school, work, friends, community centre, etc. Your private event can be small or large. If it’s a small group of people you can rely on word-of-mouth to gather your participants. If your community is, let’s say a workplace of 200+ employees, you may or may not choose to promote the event with flyers and posters, performances, etc.


Examples of a private event include:

  • classroom of students
  • your recreational sports team
  • co-workers in small company
  • friends & family 50-200 participants
  • an entire elementary school
  • all sports teams in college
  • a large workplace
  • university faculty
  • your extended family reunion PUBLIC Approx. 50 participants Example:
  • a neighborhood event
  • a childs dance class and their friends
  • birthday party!
