Sikeston Citizens to Learn Thriller Dance, Possibly Shatter World Record

That record could be in danger, though, and folks from Sikeston, Missouri have signed up to help shatter it. How? By rockin' the Thriller dance.
Thrill the World is an online organization spawned a couple years ago by Ines Markeljevic, who according to her website, is a young Canadian dance and pilates instructor. Last year, Markeljevic and her group claimed to have set the world record for Largest Simultaneous Thriller Dance with 4,179 zombie-dancers in 72 cities in ten different countries (including Saudi Arabia).
This year, they want to pay hommage to the late King of Pop by breaking the Guinness World Record. And an enterprising band of individuals down in Sikeston will be pitching at the official date/time of October 24, 7:30 p.m. EST.

By the way, TTW's Web site is super-organized, with a 30-page PDF showing the different starting times for cities around the world. The site also has a page of links to YouTube clips in which Markeljevic shows you how to do the dance. Get out your sweats and get to it:
