Watching the bridal party on another thread reminds me I would love to learn the dance steps to Thriller. I DJ my daughters Halloween party at her school and would like to teach the kids before the dance the moves. Does anybody know if there is a how to do video?
 
Found this on Kickit.to...does this help??? There are also a couple of other step sheets for the dance on the Kickit website.

Rlelek,

I wish I started DJing at 13. I started when I was 20 years old. Have fun!!!

Yea..it's a blast, but i have been laying off for a while because....

Take up all my time.....i still have a passion for it though. But i like lighting lie no other (except Tyrone).... Hope I helped in some way...b/c that's all i want to do in life....
 
John,
If it doesn't seem to completely match the dance on the video...there's a couple more versions on Kickit.to. I haven't read them all or compared them to the video yet.

Have fun with it...I did a Christmas party last Dec. and one of the teenagers at the party led the crowd...they had a blast with it! TWICE!!!

Starting to DJ at a young age I have found to be quite helpful, it makes getting the experience a lot easier. Plus my name was already out in the Philly market by the time i was 12.
