Living Dead Girlz — Dead Sexy!
The Living Dead Girlz is first and foremost a dance troupe, paying homage to the zombie horror film genre, with its roots in splatter theater.
The LDG maintains a touch of George Romero's use of zombies as symbols of commercialism with a rambunctious tounge-in-cheek attitude, event-stopping energy and irreverently bloody antics.
Each Living Dead Girlz show creates a story through extensive choreography, props and prosthetics. With an exceedingly ironic musical twist, the Living Dead Girlz shows utilize commercial-jazz choreography, with break dancing, hip-hop and the occasional afro-haitian movement, line dance or period-specific partner dance appropriate to the show.
This innovative dance troupe's choreographer and founder is Amber Steele, the CEO of the Steele Dance Company, who graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a Double Major in Dance and Comparative Literature and a Masters of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography at Mills College. Steele handles rehearsal facilitation, artistic direction, storyline creation and choreography as well as teaching the company's master classes.
