Welcome Back Val!

Zombie Duchess Val is BACK!!
   Zombies will cheer when the Duchess takes over the Horde ( and the Queen, ahem, graciously backs away). You've met our Executive Committee of Zombie Dance Leader Fether, Zombie Dance Captain Cortlandt, and Zombie Princess Lesley. Val Jones, Veteran Zombie since 2010 is back to take the helm.
    At Wednesdays's Happy Hour, Zombies danced all the way through the routine--twice! We learned two new parts. They are : Section 6:



and Section 7,


If you haven't gotten to a rehearsal, or won't even be in the country until October 23, or have some other reason you haven't been able to start yet, fear not. You can join any time. If you've started coming to sessions and you don't feel like you're learning fast enough, again, fear not. The dance will be reviewed often, and then again, and then some more. You literally can sign in at the last minute, and we will welcome you.

 Rehearsals sure are turning out to be fun though, especially since Emilio, has provided us with a bartender on Wednesdays.

Welcome 2014 Zombies! First Practice September 20 at Club Exotica, 1:00-3:00!

Well, Zombies, this is a treat! In the fab photo above, behind Michael and to his left (our right) is our very own Zombie Dance Captain Cortlandt! I bet we're the only horde in the world who has one of the original Zombies from the video!
I have attached the Zombie Step List. Remember there are eight sections, each of which has it's own set of videos. You can find the videos on the tab that says, uh, video lessons. During the dance, all of the sections are repeated at least once--we do the one called Shuffle Ha Slide FOUR times!-- so this list is the order in which the sections are done. It will all make sense on Saturday at 1:00, Club Exotica on the Plaza, when we will meet for our first official Learn the Dance Clinic. Encourage your friends to come and join...Zombie Princess Lesley has committed to 50 teens!

​ In addition to the step list, Here are two videos. The first is the actual Zombie Dance from the groundbreaking Thriller Video. See if you can find Cortlandt! Video HERE.


The second video is a really slow version of how we'll be doing the dance. On my computer there were several seconds of black before Ines ( our Supreme Leader,) starts with Zombie Stomp. You will notice that she is saying the words of the script, which is an important part of the learning process. The video is HERE


The script is HERE. This version has room for your own notes, so if you'd like to print it out, you may find it easier to work with than the one that will be provided for you on Saturday.


Okay Zombies, recap of this weeks tool kit.
