Calling all Thriller zombies!

Unfortunately this year, I will not be doing Thrill The World. (Booooooo) 

I know that some of you still have to get the zombie dance out of your system though, so we will be dancing at Tobacco Road's annual Thriller Party on Friday, October 26th.


There is a tentative practice scheduled for this Sunday, October 7th.  I will email details once they are finalized.  Please practice at home with the YouTube videos (which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/INESSENS#g/c/3FF08D2BE42682AC ).

I'm not sure how much teaching will get done since this is mostly just to refresh your memory, so if this is your first time, then definitely make sure you check the videos out first and practice at home.

Please use the little grave link on the right to email me if you are interested in dancing with us at Tobacco Road this year so we can get an approximate number.

Thanks!
Claudia

A parade of absurdities

A small group of our zombies participated in the King Mango Strut that took place in Wynwood this past Saturday. First we danced Thriller and then we marched in the parade as JUANa of the Dead (while singing Zombie Christmas Carols no less!). The Herald documented the event in Sunday's paper.

We Thrilled The World!

Here is the video from Saturday's event. Thank you zombies for putting in the time and dedication to learn the dance, go to the classes/events and make this event possible! You guys are awesome! Also a special thanks to the behind the scenes helpers; we couldn't have done it without you. I will post the final numbers as soon as I get them. :)




If anyone else took photos or videos, please post them on the Thrill The World Miami Facebook page.

If you want to join us next year, be sure to send us an email so we can add you to the mailing list.
