The school that I work at has something we call Free Electives. Each quarter the middle school students get to choose a fun class for Friday afternoons, something different and exciting for them to do to start the weekend off right. The first quarter I taught a photography elective, the second quarter I did a "movies" elective (we just watched movies, we didn't make them) and now for third quarter I am helping my friend teach this:
We finally got one sequence down, that we think our students can learn, in about a month, maybe... So, we may get through the whole song, or we may just teach them part of the Thriller dance, we'll see.
One more thought: Michael Jackson is seriously amazing! I have always known he was good, but when you really watch and try to do a cheap imitation of what he is doing, you realize that normal peoples bodies don't move like that!!
PS: Don't worry, I'm sure there will be pictures of the students, and possible the teachers in our best Michael Jackson poses, posted for one of the Fridays we are teaching this elective.
