Participants can also learn the dance at home via the step-by-step Thrill
the World Tutorials on YouTube! (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heEFEOfAn4k ) There are in-depth breakdowns
of each section of choreography available so that anyone can learn the
dance at any time, ANYWHERE – even at home. We will have a few
opportunities to rehearse the dance before the official record-breaking
attempt. Remember – Thrill the World is open to dancers of all skill
levels. The most important thing is to HAVE FUN!
Day of the Event:
The event will be held OUTSIDE of the Scranton Cultural Center, located at
420 N. Washington Avenue in Scranton, PA. We will convene beginning at 5:00
PM. On the day of the event, participants are encouraged to come in their
best zombie or Halloween inspired look, but it’s not required. You’ll check
in with the SCC team (for reporting purposes) and we’ll have a few
opportunities to practice the dance before the official world record
attempt. The dance will be live-streamed on the Scranton Cultural Center
Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/sccmt , so please encourage family
and friends to cheer you on from home.
