MJ Thriller Dance - Step by Step Breakdown

Our Michael Jackson Thriller tutorial has reached over 103,000 views on YouTube—and this Halloween, we’re bringing the experience off the screen and onto the dance floor!

Michael Jackson is an icon whose music, movement, and captivating performance style continue to inspire generations. On Friday, October 30, 2026, Body N Beat invites you to join us for a special 90-minute, step-by-step Thriller dance experience at Crenshaw Yoga & Dance.

We’ll break down the iconic choreography piece by piece, giving you time to learn it, feel it, and make it your own. Then comes the transformation…

WE’RE TURNING INTO ZOMBIES! 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Once the choreography is locked in, we’ll get into full zombie character, add makeup and costumes, and film the routine together.

Bring torn, tattered, zombie-ready clothing and any makeup you’d like to use. We’ll also have some makeup and transformation supplies available.

OPEN LEVEL — ALL ARE WELCOME.
The choreography may challenge you at times, but everything will be taught step-by-step with moderation-friendly options. No professional dance experience required—just come ready to learn, let loose, and have a good time.

And yes .... Kids are welcome too! Bring the family and make it part of your Halloween celebration. Children who are ready to learn, dance, dress up, and join the fun are encouraged to participate alongside us.

Body N Beat is more than a workout—it’s a full mind, body, and soul experience. This electrifying class blends dance fitness, plyometrics, and a touch of backyard boogie to create a high-energy, full-body burn set to music you love.

Founded by L.A. natives Luckie and J'Nelle, Body N Beat was created on a simple belief: movement should bring people together. The couple first met on the dance floor more than 14 years ago, where a shared love of music and dance sparked not only a relationship but a vision. Today, that vision has evolved into an energetic, interactive fitness experience where participants can move, sweat, and celebrate without judgment.

Luckie is a two-time NAACP Image Award nominee whose work as a creative director, choreographer, and movement coach includes collaborations with Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jhené Aiko, Alex Isley and MJ the Musical among other acclaimed artists and productions. J'Nelle discovered her passion for dance at age three through ballet. Her commitment to wellness and body positivity has been shaped by more than two decades in the healthcare industry, inspiring her to help people feel stronger, healthier, and more confident through movement.

Expect to sweat, sing, and let loose while building strength, endurance, and confidence. Whether you're pushing your limits or taking it at your own pace, Body N Beat is designed to challenge you and meet you where you are. Come for the workout, stay for the vibes!
