In this tutorial you will learn the basic steps of Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Steps
Step 1. Take four steps forward starting with the right foot
Then take four steps back, always starting with the right foot. Repeat the movement.
The movement must begin when the music begins to distinguish the beats at 4
Step 2. Tilt your head to one side on measure 1, skip over measure 2, and repeat on measure 3 and 4
This part starts when MJ starts singing.
Step 3. Turn on your side and stretch your arms outward, one arm in front and one in back
Also bend your knees. Push your butt out and move it up and down. So take a step forward and keep moving it (sounds silly, but there's no other way to describe this step).
Step 4. Extend your hands out and bend them like pincers or claws; it starts to pull, as if you were plucking leaves from a bush
Do this twice, then switch sides and do the same.
Step 5. Now stand up straight
Throw your head back and bend over slightly, extending one leg forward. Then do two forward hops on one foot. Now the MJ position begins, with the knees slightly bent, one leg out, the other on the hip and the hand attached to the belt, NOT the crotch !! The other hand will be stretched straight on your side.
Step 6. Go down with your whole body
This step is called 'down ha!' because when you come back up again you have to make an expression as if you were exclaiming HA! Repeat this movement 4 times.
Step 7. Right after the 'down ha
'bring your hands to your head and clap them against each other. Slowly lower them and drag one foot out to one side. Now shrug your shoulders and turn your head to one side. Do the same movement on the other side.
Step 8. Now you have to take a break for a count of 8, during which you will have to make uncontrolled movements as if imitating a zombie (in the video the dancers are distributed in circles because there are at least 50 zombies)
Then you have to start waving your hands in front of your body, taking a kind of disco pose, one hand up and the other down, then take that famous step with …
Step 9. Claws up, scratch sideways, and walk forward for a count to 3
Then turn in the opposite direction, then back in the opposite direction. Right now you should find yourself walking in the direction you came from (but with your shoulders opposite the starting position). Proceed to a count of 3.
Step 10. Jump
Now bend over and double-tap your toes. Make a face for a count of 4, then turn around and repeat the grimace for a count of 4. Then rotate to the starting position and throw a hand on your head and go down again but in an invisible guitar position. Rotate your foot for a beat, then bring your arm up and down, but this time count to 5 before lowering it. Grab the air on one side of the body, then punch it on the other side.
Step 11. Turn your head 4 times, then rotate your body in 6 steps until you look in the opposite direction
Look behind you and pat yourself on the leg, then take ten steps back. Your goal is to synchronize this movement just before the second chorus begins, because this is where the next steps begin. So it speeds up and slows down the movement based on how close or far this point is.
