One of the freakiest music video dances of all times will be practiced in Yellow Springs tonight, Thursday , Oct. 22, as part of an effort to best a world record.

Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance will be re-enacted at 8:30 p.m. sharp Saturday, Oct. 24, at the John Bryan Community Center gymnasium, 100 Dayton St., Yellow Springs.

The dance will be videotaped that night and counted as part of ‘Thrill the World’ and its effort to top the world record for the most people-dancing “Thriller” at once.

There are two opportunities to get your fright practiced before the free dance.

Rehearsals are from 6-8 p.m. tonight at the Yellow Springs Senior Center, 227 Xenia Ave.; and 6-8 p.m. Saturday at the John Bryan gymnasium.
