“It was always one of my dreams to do something with Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ because he was so important to dance,” said Jamie Vargo, owner of Vargo’s Dance.
Vargo’s dream will play out with the second “Thriller on 38” event from 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, in which about 25 local dancers will perform the “Thriller” routine along Second Street in Geneva, between Hamilton and State streets, just around the corner from the dance studio.
The free event includes food trucks and other treats, representing more of an overall Halloween party type of atmosphere compared to last year when the dancers simply did the “Thriller” routine in some empty parking spaces in front of the studio along State Street.
Vargo’s Dance instructor Karrie Willis teaches the “Thriller” dance choreography through a workshop. Last year, sort of on a lark, Vargo mentioned on social media that the dancers would be doing the routine on the street.
