Dancing Thriller in the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade

Posted on October 31, 2008 by

Zombie Rik

Omigawd, what an incredible time I had performing the "Thriller" dance in the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade tonight!  Nothing can compare to being with 200 other zombie dancers, and at least five Michael Jackson impersonators, doing the Thriller dance for thousands of screaming onlookers.  Here’s a brief clip of our performance taken by my buddy Will.

Special thanks to the super-organized organizers, Severine for clueing me in to the Thriller performance group, and to Michelle "Lady in Red" for doing an amazing job on my zombie makeup. 

One of the best dancing experiences of my life.

    HaHA! Chuffing brilliant! You look great and the dance looks like it was lots of fun. We were in the parade but, having arrive a little later than intended, got herded toward the back for a while. Definitely missed you and, ya know… anyone else familiar.
    By the by – found a random pic of you on flickr. It’s the photog’s icon for the album: http://www.flickr.com/photos/urbanblitz/2990539701/
