Introduction to the Thriller Dance

Before you start on the dance moves watch video clip “Watch This First.” It will explain how the funny words make sense with the moves and how this video series is structured. After you’ve watched the videos on this page, move on to Lesson 1.

Oh, and please use good judgment when using these videos. If it hurts, it’s not worth doing!!! That whole “no pain, no gain” is ridiculous. If you have back pain, don’t move that far or fast; if your knees hurt don’t go so low. Adjust the movements so you feel good doing it!

Watch This First!
