Today was so much fun as I took part in the Halloween Thriller dance mob at Writer’s Square in Belfast. It really was such a fun Samhain event and the rain held off. The event was a first for Belfast, and when I saw it advertised, I signed up right away. The money was for a good cause to raise funds for Young at Art, a company providing entertainment for local children.
I’ve been off work this week since it’s half-term break from school, so I spent everyday practising the Thriller chorus while watching easy YouTube tutorials. I haven’t danced in a long time – I did Salsa lessons long ago – so this was a lot of fun, and a great way to get in the spooky spirit. The dance mob was hosted by Q Radio in Belfast and we went through a rehearsal led by professional dancers before the main event.
Like my makeup? I bought temporary ‘Day of the Dead’ facial tattoos and then shaded in the rest with some Halloween makeup in black, green and white shades. My son said I looked unrecognisable, which I take as a compliment; I was trying to look creepy, so I think that worked.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Happy Halloween everyone, and have a spooky Samhain! See you on the other side of the veil (ie. November 1st, lol)
