We will have a few opportunities to rehearse the dance before the official record-breaking attempt. Remember – Thrill the World is open to dancers of all skill levels. The most important thing is to HAVE FUN!

The dance will be live-streamed on the Scranton Cultural Center Facebook page, so please encourage family and friends to cheer you on from home.
