BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Tuesday evening the National Dance Education Organization at Western Kentucky University held a community dance practice to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to be performed at Saturday’s Scare on The Square.

Dance practices started Monday and anyone from the community is welcome to join and learn the moves.

The event began two years ago in 2023 and has grown tremendously since then.

Starting with just a fourth of the numbers they have now, the dance has grown with many members of the community participating.

“We also have a lot of members of the community that just have heard about it through news or paper or online, and they just want to come join something fun and community driven.” said Ella Claire Johns.

The performance of “Thriller” will serve as the grand finale
