12,937 People Dancing to Thriller at Once


The current record for the most people ever to dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller was officially set and recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records when 242 students from the College of William & Mary performed it in May of 2008.

Looks like that record may have just been blown away by Mexico.

On Saturday, August 29, 2009, (Michael Jackson’s Birthday) 12,937 people in Mexico City attempted to beat the current record and did a great job of doing it. Getting that many people in one place to do Thriller is just amazing. They’ll find out if they beat the actual record sometime next week.

As it turns out, there was also another group of people trying to beat the old record. More than 500 people in Liecester danced to Thriller on Saturday as well. At least they had fun. ;)
