The Thriller

At the very beginning of my hip hop class, all of the students had to say how much dance experience they had. I said the most experience I've had was watching an online tutorial on how to do the Thriller dance (i love mj) but I didn't even finish that.

Last week, my instructor came up to me in the middle of our routine practice and asked if I would teach the class the first half of the Thriller to the class after we mastered this routine, which would probably be This Friday.

With mixed feelings, I accepted. If I had been thinking, I would've asked for her to give me extra credit or free days or something in exchange for facing one of my worst fears: dancing in front of people. It took me a bit to get comfortable dancing with everyone, and now I'm going to dance in front of my class and teach them how to do what I do.

It is good thing I love the Thriller, otherwise I would be so scared right now. But actually, I'm kinda excited. It's no fun to do the Thriller all by yourself at home. I bet it will be awesome with everyone else. Plus I get to tell people to be more Zombie-ish. I cannot wait. Anyone have any good lines I can use to tell people to relax their arms like noodles, to make their fists look more like vicious claws, to look dead? Just checking if anyone can think of a fun way to tell people to be zombie's, because the more they laugh, the more they'll play, and it will look so much cooler if everyone plays along with this awesome dance.

Here's the Thriller tutorial I learned from: http://www.thrilltheworld.com/
