Set text and then choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh configure the mesh so you have 1 row and 2 columns. This provides a mesh line in the middle of the text. More columns will provide addition mesh lines for more alterations.
Then it's a matter of selecting mesh points and double-clicking the Scale Tool to adjust how the mesh alters the text.
