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.

I think it would be cool if they all got drunk and stoned before practice. Then they could set the record for the most drunken idiots falling all over themselves.

Personally, I think it’s really cool. I know MJ had a lot of issues to deal with from when he was a kid and then into adulthood. But then again, who doesn’t? He’s the most respected singer/dancer in the world and he should be recognized for that. It’s a shame what happened to him. He’s in peace now, let him be.
