Global Team

A professional dance instructor 2002-2012, Ines formed her initial Thriller dance group in 2006 in Toronto, Canada.  Her group set the Guinness World Record for the category of Largest Thriller Dance in one location.  In 2007 she transformed her creativity into an international event for groups around the world to perform at the same time.  Several world records with both Record Holders Republic and World Record Academy have been set and broken for Largest Simultaneous Thriller Dance in Ines' Thrill The World international production.  

Sheri initially performed in Thrill The World Seattle in 2008 and has been the organizer and one of the dance instructors for the local group since 2009.  She joined the global team in 2018.   Sheri has been dancing since the age of five performing dance routines on a weekly television show, and she was also in television commercials.  She took ten years of classical piano, participated in the piano guild yearly, was awarded the Paderewski award for piano achievements, and was a concert pianist at sixteen.  In college Sheri competed in water skiing and later competed in ice skating.  She has been involved in couples dancing since 2004.  A few of the dance styles she enjoys are social ballroom, west coast swing, Latin, east coast swing, country two-step, and night club two step.  She has performed in various genres of flash mob dance routines in Seattle and has 

co-choreographed dance routines that she has performed on stage. 

Diane discovered Ines' Thrill The World videos in 2007 when her teenage daughter asked her to learn Thriller and teach it to her and her friends. She was thrilled to learn about the global event and did not hesitate to join.  Her daughter and friends decided not to participate, so Diane danced alone in El Paso, Arkansas.  In 2009 she moved to New Mexico and danced with a newly formed group in Albuquerque.  In 2010 she signed up to be an instructor, and the following year she volunteered to lead their registration.  Over the next few years, as the other organizers moved away or became involved in other activities, Diane took over as the event manager.  Diane has been teaching line dances to the children in the Rio Rancho afterschool program since 2010; a job that evolved from volunteering to teach Thriller at all 10 elementary schools.  Diane had the privilege of teaching Thriller to staff of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta so that they could perform in a flash mob for their volunteers.  She also taught the organizers of Relay For Life so that they could perform in a flash mob for their event attendees.  Diane and the Thrill The World Albuquerque flash mob team have performed numerous flash mobs in the Albuquerque area.  Some of her favorite flash mobs include mobbing by invitation for visitors at Balloon Fiesta and at Dave Bautista’s cast party when he was in town filming a zombie movie.  When she is not dancing, Diane enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, crafting, and volunteering at her church

 Jenette had longed to join Thrill the World Eugene Oregon since its inception in 2012.  It was not until 2019 that she was able to break away from her work schedule, and now she is on the team that organizes their Thrill The World event.  Jenette also participates in and assists in coordinating their annual Thriller flashmobs, as well as year-round new routines for flashmobs, that fundraise for ShelterCare in Eugene.  Her dance group has an open invitation to perform at gatherings for the Boy Scouts of America for donations to Shelter Care, and they also drive to many locations in a day to perform for contributions.  Jenette is on the Board of Directors for the Kinetic Grand Championship and is their Race Director.  She has been involved with the organization since 1978, and she has attended every race since its inception in 1969 in Ferndale, California.  This 3-day/52-mile event has spawned races across the nation and internationally.  
Jenette is an Old Slug Queen (S.L.U.G., an acronym for the “Society for the Legitimization of the Ubiquitous Gastropod”) that collaborates with various nonprofits, cultural and arts organizations. They are the unofficial ambassadors for the City of Eugene.  They volunteer in many activities including emceeing at events, presenting medals and awards, participating in marketing campaigns, tossing the first pitch at the Eugene Emeralds baseball game, opening art shows, marching in parades, making appearances at fundraising events, opening city parks, planting trees, reading stories to children at the library and in schools, organizing public events, judging contests, encouraging STEAM programs (science, technology, engineering, art, math), and assisting with food drives.  Jenette was the 2019 & 2020 "Raining" Slug Queen (“raining” as it continuously rains in Oregon) and is now an Old Queen. 
Jenette also excels in EXCEL! She continually generates spreadsheets. Her life is in an EXEL spreadsheet.

 Tricia was inspired to organize her first Thrill The World event in 2009 by her daughter, Christine, and managed events that benefited a local horse sanctuary until 2013. In 2011 Tricia joined the Thrill The World Global Team as Webmaster and continued to dance with local Thrill The World groups until a job change moved her family to Oregon in 2017.  She remains active as Website Consultant for Thrill The World.  Throughout the year Tricia enjoys spending time with her family, three dogs, two cats, two horses and a chinchilla.

IN LOVING MEMORY

Aimee began performing with Thrill The World Seattle in 2010 and became one of their assistant organizers in 2012.  She joined the Global Team in 2020 as Webmaster, Data and Reporting Specialist, and Video Editor.  She was very dedicated in donating much of her time in preparations for this annual event.  Aimee enjoyed drawing, painting, photography, needlework, writing novels, and writing professionally.

Aimee touched many lives.  She is very missed and will be forever in thoughts and prayers.
