The first Chiller Thriller Mental Health Awareness Event in Fayette County, WV, sponsored by Project Aware, Fayette County, WV took place in Oak Hill and Valley last month.
The entire community was invited to attend either as audience members or as dancers performing the Chiller Thriller, which was a simplified and accessible version of the Thriller Dance. The choreography had a standing and seated version that told a story about the journey we each take with our mental health and was similar to Micheal Jackson’s version as well.
Project Aware visited area schools to teach the dance to Fayette County students, hosted community practice sessions, and posted a tutorial video of the dance on YouTube.
