Thrill the world
Campbell residents will have another chance to dance like Michael Jackson this Halloween season at the annual “Thrill the World” performance. But first they have to learn the steps.
To that end, Adira Dance and Costume in San Jose is hosting free workshops on Wednesdays, Sept. 4-Oct 23, 6:30-7:30 p.m., to teach potential zombies the “Thriller” moves. The workshops culminate with performances around the South Bay, including in downtown Campbell, for “Thrill the World” weekend Oct. 25-27.
The workshops will take place in the parking lot in front of Adira Dance and Costume at 2038 Lincoln Ave. in San Jose. For more information, visit http://www.adiradance.com.
