Last class before Thrill Time!

Our final Thriller dance class is scheduled for Sunday, Oct 18 from 2:30pm to 5:00pm. The class will be held at 1311 Miller Road in Coral Gables (33146). This is the Student Lounge at the Univ of Miami School of Law.

If this is the first class you attend, please bring comfortable clothes and shoes to move in, water to drink and $1 (or $3 if you'd like a CD of the song and steps).

If you have been to a class before and are comfortable with the 8 sections, feel free to skip the beginning and come towards the end of the class (4:30ish) where we will put it all together.

No previous dance experience necessary. You don't have to be a good dancer (zombies are not good dancers). Don't worry if you missed the other practices. We teach all the steps at each practice so you only have to come to one (if you practice at home).

Please email me (or RSVP on the Facebook event page) if you are coming so I can get an idea of how many people are going to be there.

This is the last class before the big day!

Zombie Walk

The zombie walk this past Saturday on Lincoln Road was totally crazy and totally fun. I'll definitely be doing that again next year. For those of you that missed it, ah too bad, don't say I didn't tell you about it.

Here's some clips from what my friend Cristy managed to video tape (while I was walking amongst the masses).

BRAINS!
