Getting Ready To Thrill The World
World Dance Santa Barbara will host its third annual Thriller event later this month. A practice sessions are held at the Santa Barbara Dance Center located on West Canon Perdido. At noon on October 27th, local zombies will rise up from the ground in the Courthouse Sunken Gardens and join thousands of people around the world as they perform Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” right before Halloween. Last year, more than 200 local dancers took part in the event. Proceeds from all World Dance classes support international and local aid projects. This year donations will support a health project in Liberia.Other practice locations include:SANTA BARBARASaturdays 10:15-11:00am – SB Dance Center – 127 West Canon PerdidoSundays 4:00-5:00pm – SB Hitchcock YMCA (Open and free to non-members!)Tuesdays 8:15-9:00pm – SB Dance Center – 127 West Canon PerdidoWednesdays 5:30-6:30pm – Alameda Park by Kids World at Garden and MicheltorenaSANTA YNEZ VALLEYSundays 9:30-10:30am – Los Olivos Dance Gallery, 2948 Nojoquio Ave Sundays 12:30-1:30pm – Santa Ynez YMCA, 900 North Refugio Rd – open to non-members
