It's 'Thriller' night: Michael Jackson fans to go for international record for largest dance


Does the world truly need yet another Michael Jackson tribute? If it means getting thousands of people all over the world to join in a possibly world-record-breaking simultaneous dance of Jackson’s well-known “Thriller,” then the answer is yes.


Thrill the World will be taking place Saturday at exactly 5:30 p.m. PST and, as mentioned above, is a universal attempt to break a world record for the largest simultaneous dance with Jackson’s six-minute version of “Thriller.” The current record stands at 1,722 people from 52 countries, set on Oct. 27 and 28, 2007. This year, 3,000 people are predictable to dance at the L.A. event alone, which is taking place at L.A. Live. There will also be groups dancing in the South Bay, Ventura and Orange County, says Amanda Ayres, executive coordinator of the L.A. division.
