People from all over the world join Thrill The World for many different reasons. Besides experiencing the the wonderful sense of community with others around the world, making new friends, contributing to charity, remembering their love of dancing, people learn valuable skills that they can use after Thrill Day and return to their human personas:
* Free Leadership Training: gain experience to put on your resume. If you want a job as an event planner/ coordinator this is a great way to get started, even if you have little to no previous experience.
* Earn Letters of Reference as a Thrill The World Team Volunteer for helping with TTW core operations. Go to Thrill Crew for details.
*Fundraiser for your school, work, or club.
* Fundraiser for your chosen charity or non-profit organization.
* High School Students: leadership project, community project, this may even count toward your volunteer hours if your region requires that. Also, volunteer and leadership work looks great on a college/university application.
* College & University: as an independent project, with a student club, or get the whole campus involved for some positive publicity for your school.
* Elementary School: raise money for your school, increase students’ self-confidence, positive media attention, etc.
* Community Group or Club: get your neighborhood together, meet new people, do something fun with your friends, etc.
* Dance Studios: gain new students — now they can dance “Thriller” so they are more apt to take on learning other dance styles too. Plus, positive publicity, media attention, visibility in your community and business exposure!
* Businesses: develop company culture, team-building, and as with the above, positive publicity, media attention, visibility in your community and business exposure.
* You’ve always wanted to be part of a WORLD RECORD!
* You’ve always wanted to learn “Thriller” and now you can cross it off your Bucket List or “Things To Do Before I Die.”
* You can’t wait till Halloween parties to rush the floor (with other TTW fans, naturally!) and erupt into spontaneous choreographed dance — like a music video!
Hear from a few of our past Event Managers: Private Event means you will not be inviting the general public to participate. You will dance only with people in your community/ that you know: school, work, friends, community centre, etc. Your private event can be small or large. If it’s a small group of people you can rely on word-of-mouth to gather your participants. If your community is, let’s say a workplace of 200+ employees, you may or may not choose to promote the event with flyers and posters, performances, etc. Public Event means you will allow the general public to participate your event. If you are welcoming the public it means more work in terms of promotion and setting up workshops for the public to learn the dance. Depending on how big you expect your event to be and how many participants can attend, you’ll need more or less team members accordingly. For either private or public, you can decide if you want to allow, or encourage, spectators to view the Thrill Time performance. Small event = smaller team = less to do Big event = obviously, bigger team = much more to do SMALL LARGE PRIVATE 1-20 participants Example: ? classroom of students
* your recreational sports team
* co-workers in small company
* friends & family 50-200 participants Example:
* an entire elementary school
* all sports teams in college
* a large workplace
* university faculty
* your extended family reunion PUBLIC Approx. 50 participants Example:
* a neighborhood event
* if your venue is small
* your kids dance class and their friends
* or… it’s just been hard to find enough outgoing people in your city 200+ participants Example:
* city-wide events, everyone is invited, like Austin, Texas in 2008 with 881 zombies!
