Halloween season means one thing at Freestyle Dance Academy…that the FDA Company dancers have the opportunity to thrill the residents of Bucks County, PA, as they get into the Halloween spirit. This year, Freestyle Dance Academy was flattered to be invited to be part of the Doylestown Spooktacular, presented by Discover Doylestown, as well as the prestigious Halloween events at the famous Shady Brook Farm, located in Yardley, PA.
Please pardon any lighting distractions in the video above. The “Thriller” Pumpkinfest performance is conceptualized for a live audience, and the viewing experience is not always optimal for video.
At Shady Brook Farm, hot apple cider and pumpkin scents float through the air, along with plenty for the kids, including playgrounds & face painting. FallFest at Shady Brook is rounded out with a day of live music & entertainment, and this year Freestyle Dance Academy was asked to provide a “thrilling” performance.
The dancers of Freestyle Dance Academy perform “Thriller” at Shady Brook Farm.
The dancers of Freestyle Dance Academy highlighted the evening in Bucks County, with a flashmob-style “Thriller” performance, which they have developed a reputation for in the Doylestown community. In complete ghoulish attire, the FDA Performing Company dances Michael Jackson’s famous “Thriller” choreography, as dusk settles over Shady Brook Farm. The performance was originally inspired by FDA’s “Thriller” music video on Youtube, which can be viewed here. The FDA Company also helped ring in the Halloween season in it’s own community, by performing “Thriller” at the annual Doylestown Spooktacular parade & costume contest.
