(21-7-2008) According to a report by the Enfield Independent, a secondary school in Enfield (UK) broke the world record for the largest number of people to ever take part in a version of Michael Jackson’s famous ‘Thriller’ dance last week. Previously, the world record was held in Canada with 62 people dancing the routine. This was officially beaten in Enfield with 147 dancers participating and around 700 “extras” - acting as zombies.
Students and staff from Highlands School, in Grange Park, and three local primary schools, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the acclaimed album, with a fundraising performance of the dance. Every participant was asked to contribute a minimum of £1. The event raised over £750 for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity, which builds specialist units around the country for teenagers and young adults who are suffering with cancer.
Simon Davies, the chief executive of Teenage Cancer Trust, said:
“What an incredible achievement for the school to beat the world record.
We’d like to say a huge thanks to all the students and staff involved with this challenge and for raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
This money will help us ensure that young cancer patients get the best possible care in hospital, and the chance to do all the things that other teenagers do. We couldn’t do this without people like Highlands School.”
The Thriller dance has proven to be a popular routine ever since the famous video for the song was released, attracting the attention of worldwide simultaneous dances.
