Hey guys! You are all doing so well! Saturday's combined rehearsal was really exciting!
Below are just some dance pointers to clean up the dance before the big day. Keep practicing; this is going to be awesome!
1) Throughout the dance, be aware of your surroundings, and take smaller steps forward/backwards, particularly the "Swim Together", "Wuzz Up", and "Stomp(s)". We will have to work in the space provided.... of course, you can use those moves to adjust your spacing, too!
2) After "grab, pull in, punch punch punch down" section, people are getting up early instead of "hold, hold". You should wait two counts before "right left".
Also in that section, it is easier to keep the head down until "right left"; then bring it up and look forward.
3) During ALL stomp parts, we need to keep our heads down regardless of how low they can get. It looks great when we're all in sync!
4) After "Star down", we want to make sure we rise at the same time!
5) Wuzz Up section--arms are meant to be "disconnected" at the shoulders as dancers travel instead of held in place--much like "shake-a-and-a-uppa" part disconnect earlier. Don't be afraid to be loose with them!
6) Remember we do the "Hip and Roar" section twice which seems to come as a surprise to many when the chorus is reprised near the end after our last "star down hold 2-3-4 rise"
7) While styling is fun to watch--reminder to all we have to follow the choreography to be counted as part of the record. Add stuff at the encore performance :-) It looks amazing when our heads, hands, and feet are together!
8) We've said it often, but no smiling as zombies! Work on your character; it really stands out during moves like "Zombie march", "Wuzz Up", and "Pose"! Also No Talking (that's a given)!
9) Big hint for dance shoes at Thrill time at the Bay--regular sneakers on the sand we sprinkle on the concrete is hands down your optimum dance option if it works with the costume.
10) REMINDER: Call time is 3:30pm..... We will rehearse a couple of times, work on spacing, finish any admin work, touch up our hair/make-up, and DANCE promptly at 5:30pm!!!
