Hey I saw your video on youtube and I was wondering, my friends and I are going to get a group of kids to teach them the thriller dance so we can dance at our 8th grade graduation, could you maybe make an instructional video for us?

--Liz

 
We should, Liz, as it's been requested before, but the life of a wedding Thriller dancer is a busy one, and we just haven't had time to do it as of yet. Our best advice for now is to go get a copy of Michael's video yourself and go learn the moves!

The other night, some friends of mine started showing off their favorite youtube videos. I showed them the Wedding Thriller dance, but they'd all seen it already. I was so disappointed... my chance at impressing my friends was gone because your video was too popular. DAMN YOU! *angry fist-shaking motion*

Well, Tom, at over 6 million hits, nearly one in every 1,000 people worldwide has seen us strut our stuff. Of course, not all of those people have internet connections, and a lot of people are actually WORKING at work instead of surfing the web, so that number is probably smaller. Still, if you had told us when we posted the video that eventually it would be seen by more people than live in the state of Tennessee, we wouldn't have believed you. However, now that the precedent has been set, we must move forward. On to Arizona!

I saw your video on youtube with the thriller dance. I am so jealous because my best friend and I always wanted to do that at our weddings and we are now married and never were able to figure out the entire dance. I have to ask...how did you learn it all. We have watched the video and 13 going on 30 and there are so many parts left out.

--Angie

 
We were able to learn it because Brian is a perfectionist, Angie. The dance in "13 Going On 30" is incomplete, but it was the inspiration for our wedding party to do the dance in the first place. We learned the dance because Brian bought the video, then slowed it down using editing software to learn the steps. After that, practice, practice, practice. Although it ended up being pretty magical, there was no magic involved other than repetition.
