Belfast’s first ever Public Thriller Dance Mob! 3pm on Friday 31st October in Writer’s Square.



CQ Thriller Dance Mob – Belfast’s First Ever! 

This Halloween, don’t just dress like a zombie… dance like one!
On Friday, 31st October, Writer’s Square will come alive (or undead!) with Belfast’s first ever public Thriller dance mob. Hundreds of people, one iconic routine, and you right in the middle of it all.

When you register, you’ll get access to the Thriller Dance instruction videos in advance, so you can practice at home, teach your friends, or just have a laugh in the kitchen before the big day. Then, on the day itself, we’ll polish it all up together in a quick rehearsal before the performance.
