For the safety of our Zombies and to stay within the max capacity of the rec centers, we will be limiting the number of participants allowed. Registration will remain open until we have reached max capacity. (A safe Zombie is a happy Zombie!)
What does my $15 paid membership include??

will allow us to share important information just between us Zombies.)

No dance experience is necessary, and you don’t have to be a performer or even a great dancer. Thriller is easy to learn and danced by Zombies that have their own style. We don’t all have to be exactly alike. Anyone can learn it if you are willing to practice.
New Zombie practices will be Sunday mornings at Eisenhower Rec Center from 12:00-1:45 - Registration and Membership is mandatory. No walk-ins.
You are required to attend weekly practice in August and September. You must also attend an outdoor rehearsal at the Polo Field on October 13. The best way to learn the dance is to come to practice each week. It is fun to practice together and experience the team synergy! You will also learn tips and tricks that will help you master the dance and establish your own zombie persona.
New Zombies will be performing with the Alumni team on Thrill Night (always the Saturday before Halloween), which will be October 25th this year.
That is half the fun. You can go all out or just dirty up something you find in the back of your closet. Most of our Thriller zombies visit the thrift stores for clothes to “zombie-up” that cost very little. Just be sure that you are able to move freely and safely, and always wear closed toe shoes (for performances as well as for practices).
While we will be sorry to see you go, we completely understand that things come up. Just let us know by emailing thrillthevillages@gmail.com. You are welcome to stay on our Thrill The Villages Facebook page and come back for our next year’s festivities.
*Please understand that any paid membership dues will be non-refundable.
