The event combines the groundbreaking 14-minute music video—featuring Jackson's signature dance moves alongside ghouls and zombies—with an interactive dance party, delicious food by Starfish Laguna Beach, and drinks for one ticket price. Dancers will perform and teach a portion of the video’s choreography to willing guests.

"Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ video remains one of the most influential works in music and dance history," said Jodie Gates, Laguna Dance Founder and Artistic Director. "We're excited to bring this cultural phenomenon to our community in an interactive way that celebrates both the artistry and the joy of dance."
