AND THANK YOU!
to so many of you who took the time to
commemorate Michael's passing by coming
in to learn 'Michael Jackson's Thriller' over the June 26th weekend.
I can't think of a
better way to honor him than to learn how to dance like him, though
none of us will ever
even come close. This is not the end, however .... we'll be doing this
most Sat mornings as
a class warm-up at 10:00AMand on Sundays between 8:30PM & 9:00PM
as part of the weekly
Washington
DC Michael Jackson's Thriller Meetup Group
Join us for continued 'Michael Jackson's
Thriller' training to learn this one-of-a-kind dance routine in his
memory.
Join Terry
Chasteen of www.PleaseDanceWithMe.com
and the Washington
DC Michael Jackson's Thriller Meetup Group at the
Chevy Chase Ballroom (Friendship Heights red line Metro) for continuing
'Michael Jackson's Thriller' training sessions in honor of this incomparable
icon of music and dance (keep visiting www.PleaseDanceWithMe.com
or www.MichaelJacksonsThriller.com
for future times).
The objective over the June 26th weekend was to teach as much of the
authentic Michael Jackson's Thriller dance routine (straight from the
DVD with all of the details, not the counterfeit material that one might
see on the internet) that we could fit into a half hour or an hour which
we did on:
(1) Friday, June 26th at 12:00 Noon and 6:00PM (confirmed and accomplished),
(2) Saturday, June 27th at 10:00 AM and 7:00PM (confirmed and
accomplished),
(3) Sunday, June 28th at 12:00 Noon and at 9:00 PM (confirmed
and accomplished).
9:00PM on Sundays is our usually scheduled time for the Washington
DC Michael Jackson's Thriller Meetup Group
in conjunction with the weekly Sunday Salsa & Rueda and
Argentine Tango Socials; both of which include refreshments
of lemonade and pie right from the oven with ice cream. We'll be dancing
Salsa & Rueda, Tango and the 'Michael Jackson's Thriller' dance
routine on the absolute BEST professional floating dance floor in all
of DC, Md & Va. The Salsa & Rueda Sunday Social is ended by
9PM in studio A while the Argentine Tango dance party continues in studio
B and goes until 11PM (anyone taking any Sunday class is paid up to
attend either one or both dance parties).
Visit www.PleaseDanceWithMe.com
or www.MichaelJacksonsThriller.com
for any additions in days or times above and beyond the 10:00AM Saturday
morning class warm-up before our beginner Salsa class (taught by Mein
at 10:30AM) and the 'Dancing
Kids' Network' Ballroom, Latin & Swing classes at 10:30AM
(taught by Terry or his other associate teachers). And help us to continue
celebrating Michael's life by doing what he did better than anyone else...by
DANCING! .... We want EVERYONE to know this dance!
Below are three very positive
results in video from the June 26th weekend, in addition to causing

Terry Chasteen teaching and dancing "Michael Jackson's Thriller"
and the Moonwalks (photos below) to Fox 5 News reporter Sarah Simmons
on July 19, 2007 using the CD version of 'Thriller' and turning many
of the moves that Michael danced around Ola Ray down the graveyard path
into a line dance. Unlike the DVD version of 'Thriller', this is the
CD version of the music that all of the clubs will play night after
night during the month of Halloween. Also included is some sign language
for the benefit of the kids who Terry teaches this routine to, plus
a lesson for Sarah Simmons in the "Moonwalk". Parts of this
taping wound up on Fox 5 News during 3 or 4 segments on July 19th and
20th. Sarah did a GREAT job in so little time, considering that it took
Terry and accomplished dancer friend Alex 2 to 3 months to perfect the
complete choreography from the DVD. By the way, this is only about 1/3
of the full routine and only includes the original choreography of the
first & second choruses. The main routine is MUCH longer and more
complicated as can be seen in the other YouTube videos. When playing
the cd version of the music, the rest of the routine can be danced during
the Vincent Price rap after slinking around and hanging out for four
phrases of music from where this segment ends.
