Mexico City to Host Massive Michael Jackson 'Thriller' Dance Tribute

Mexico City is preparing for a vibrant public tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, with a large-scale dance event scheduled for August 29 in front of the Monumento a la Revolución. Hundreds of fans are expected to gather, many donning red jackets, gloves, and even zombie-inspired looks, ready to perform the iconic choreography.

Organized by the "Yo Sí Bailo, Michael Jackson" community, the event promises a festive and family-friendly atmosphere, welcoming both experienced dancers and enthusiastic beginners. The centerpiece of the tribute will be Jackson's globally recognized hit, "Thriller," encouraging attendees to come in costume. The event is free to attend, with organizers emphasizing the importance of bringing a positive attitude and memorable attire.

For those eager to perfect their moves, open rehearsals are being held on Sundays, August 16 and 23, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the same location. These sessions offer a chance to learn the "Thriller" steps and connect with fellow fans. The Monumento a la Revolución is easily accessible via public transport, with nearby Metro stations including Revolución (Line 2) and Hidalgo (Lines 2 and 3), and the Plaza de la República Metrobús station (Line 1).
