Watch the FDA Company perform their live performance of “Thriller.” Please pardon the poor lighting in the video. The “Thriller” Pumpkinfest performance was conceptualized for a live audience, and the viewing experience was not optimal for video.
For the third consecutive Fall season, the dancers of the Freestyle Dance Academy Company had the opportunity to thrill the residents of Doylestown, PA, who were getting into the Halloween spirit at Pumpkinfest 2018. Pumpkinfest, an annual event hosted by CB Cares Educational Foundation, brings together 20 of the best “pumpkin artists” in the Bucks County area, for a pumpkin carving throw down! Pumpkinfest is hosted at the historic Moravian Pottery & Tile Works factory, outside of downtown Doylestown.

Freestyle Dance Academy was once again asked to “thrill” the Bucks County audience, and the FDA Company was all too happy to get spooky. The Freestyle Dance Academy Company hit the main stage area, and got everyone into the Halloween mood with Michael Jackson’s famous “Thriller.” This performance has become a calling card of sorts for the FDA Company, having been invited to perform it at various locations around Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Even Pennsylvania State Senate candidate, Marguertie Quinn, was dancing along, and was excited to grab a photo with all of the zombies after the performance. The highlight of the evening for Freestyle Dance Academy was the debut of the FDA Jr. Company! Our younger dancers hit the public stage for the first time, and rocked it!
