This news is from England. An event is held there. Around 200 people
come. They wear old clothing, and they put fake blood on their faces.
They look like zombies....
Then the zombies dance Zumba. They try to set a new world record. Sadly,
there is no category in the Guinness Book of World Records for this....
The zombies dance to their favourite songs. For example, they dance to
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, the “Ghostbusters” theme and even “Gangnam
Style”...
Difficult words: be held (happen), fake (not real), blood (the red “water” inside your body)...

Zombies Do Zumba Complete Article News
Talk about a monster mash!
Almost 200 Zumba dancers donned white face paint, ripped clothes and
fake blood and attempted to dance their way into the record books.
One hundred and eighty-three zombie dancers in total took part in the event at Tulleys Farm in West Sussex, UK...
“It'll be interesting. I say, I've never done it before so I'm just going to go with the flow if you like.”
“As a zombie who's just so dead-icated to my fitness then this is a
really important day for me, especially if it sets a world record.”.
“It's exotic isn't it? Zombies can be from anywhere in the world and
that Zumba is a South American exotic dance and this is an exotic
festival.”
The 15-minute set included tracks featuring zombie dance favourites such
as Michael Jackson's “Thriller”, “The Time Warp”, and some special
mixes including “Dracula Tango”, “Ghostbusters” and the incredibly scary
“Gangnam Style”..
The Zumba record attempt was led from the stage by qualified instructors and a team of dancers.
Here's the awkward part… Guinness World Records doesn't currently have a
category for the largest Zumba class featuring zombies… I know, I was
shocked as well...
So we will have to wait to find out if Guinness recognises it and if these ghouls have gangnamed their way to Guinness glory...
Difficult words: monster mash (“Monster Mash” was a song from the USA in
the 1960s that featured dancing monsters), don (put on), dead-icated
(this is a pun or a joke; a dedicated person really wants to do
something, but it also sounds like “dead” and zombies are technically
dead), ghoul (an evil spirit), awkward (uncomfortable), gangnam
(“Gangam Style” is a very popular song, and here the context uses the
word as a verb because the zombies danced to the song)...
