Tens of thousands of people attend Viva!Vienna! each year, so it wasn't a surprise when pedestrian gridlock started to build around 2:45 p.m. Monday near the heart of the Church Street vendor booths.
What festival goers weren't expecting was the group of about 100 Vienna Elementary School students that suddenly dropped to the ground in unison, launching into a choreographed dance as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" played from a stereo.
Led by Vienna Elementary School music teacher Dave Reynolds, the students danced for about three minutes before dispersing into the crowd as quickly as they appeared.
Watch our video of the dance in the media player above.

I think Dave Reynolds is the most creative music teacher I've seen! The way he engages his students and creates these fun interactive programs for them is BRILLIANT!
