WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - It was a thrilling record-breaking performance.
A group of College of William & Mary students won the world record for most people assembled to dance Michael Jackson's "Thriller" simultaneously in one place.
The 242-person routine was organized by longtime Jackson superfan Kevin Dua, who was notified by Guiness World Records on Friday morning of the accomplishment. The previous record was 147 people.
College officials say Dua spent the better part of the year orchestrating the event, which was held April 19 at the Williamsburg school. The senior from Alexandria will be graduating this weekend with a world record under his belt.
