We’ve been learning the routine from Thriller for five weeks or so. It’s great fun, providing you leave your dignity at the door, or just don’t care There are 15 of us, and with the first 2/3 of the dance roughly sorted, this evening we looked at the last section.

I don’t think anyone anticipated the levels of hip-action this would involve. I have never done such things before. We’re consoling ourselves that one day we’ll perform at a wedding, and it’ll totally be worth it.

One of our teachers filmed the routine, blessedly stopping after the first 2/3. If this makes it to YouTube - and, let’s face it, this is inevitable - I’m going to have no choice but to blog it. Despite what it may do for my readership, and their associated mental health. Sorry in advance.
