Dancing at the Thriller Thrive by Kira Strande

On November 8th, I had the greatest opportunity to partake in Centre County’s 2nd Annual
Thriller Thrive dance at the BJC with a couple of other brothers! The event collects
money for local Centre County volunteer first responders (The Alpha Fire Company and
Centre Lifelink). Participants in the dance are sponsored to perform Michael Jackson’s
“Thriller”. To learn the dance, I attended a workshop with only two other people – both
little girls who were 6 and 9. They danced so well and had already learned the dance at
a previous workshop, so they were absolutely thrilled to be able to show off their moves
to me. When the event rolled around, the hype was incredible. Besides dancing with the
Alpha Fire Company and Centre Lifelink, a local dance team and cheerleading squad
joined in the dance as well. I had a great time at the event and was happy to be able to
participate for such a great cause.
