Come Dance With Us! Thrill The World Portland – Saturday October 27th

 

Do you love Michael Jackson? What about Zombies? Is dressing up and being silly as fun for you as it is for me? You gotta join us dancing to Thriller!

Thrill The World is an annual worldwide attempt to break the Largest Simultaneous Dance with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Thousands of people in cities around the world learn a version of MJ’s “Thriller” dance, and perform it together.

This year it happens on Saturday October 27th.

 

This is a day time, kid friendly (as long as your kid isn’t afraid of scary costumes and zombie makeup) community event, that raises money for local charities.

I plan on attending the first rehearsal on Friday September 28th. One of my ladies has suggested a zombie bridesmaid theme this year, so head to the Red Light, or raid your costume closet (I’m not the only one who has one of these, right), get your Zombie game face on, and join us!

Here are some photos of us at the 2017 event. For more of these (Zombie Lucy was my favorite) of these head to the THWP facebook page.

A note from Alan, the local organizer:

It’s time to launch Thriller season – our twelfth!

We will begin holding dance practices next week.

Here are the first few practices we’re holding:
Friday, September 28, from 6-8 pm, at 2620 NE Fremont (east side of the building
Sunday, September 30, from 1-3 pm, at 2620 NE Fremont (east side of the building)
Sunday, October 7, from 1-3 pm, at 2620 NE Fremont (east side of the building)

All ages, all abilities are welcome to join. You can attend as many or as few practices as you like; or even none at all, if you’re learning the dance another way. We teach the dance in full at every practice; our instructors each bring different styles to teaching.

You can also practice at home. Instructional videos are on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/INESSENS

Event details to come later. If you want to be our Thriller-info-only email list, send us a line at ttwpdx@gmail.com.

We will see you soon, Thrillers!

New Pilates And Yoga Class Times Start This Week!

Want to meet a group of fun and irreverent ladies who will encourage and support you? Come to one of Fluid’s classes! This is not your typical fitness class. Depending on how stressful the day has been, you may hear some cursing, or office war stories. One thing my ladies always say at the end of class is “man I feel so much better now than when I came in here!” Think of this as your self care, happy hour, stress reduction, and ladies night, all rolled into one.

Plus you get to visit with me for an hour! Oh and we do lift weights, stretch, and otherwise move our bodies.

  • Monday yoga
