LOS ANGELES — The cast members of “Zombies” displayed their dance abilities at the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles by guiding enthusiasts through the choreography for “Don’t Mess With Us,” a song featured in the upcoming movie “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires.”
“The stoked levels are just like, so high,” Malachi Barton said, adding the energy in the class was “through the roof.”
On The Red Carpet caught up with the cast before the session to talk about the unique dance styles tied to their characters.
“The key distinction between the movements of the Daywalkers and the Vampires is that the Vampires incorporate expansive arm gestures, symbolizing the wind,” Freya Skye elaborated.
“I think the Daywalkers, in like ‘Place To Be’ especially, we use our fire powers a lot and kind of show that off.”
The latest installment of the “Zombies” series, “Dawn of the Vampires,” follows the zombie-cheerleader squad to a fresh summer camp and introduces two additional supernatural factions, the Daywalkers and the Vampires. As tensions escalate, the Seabrook crew must assist Nova, a Daywalker, and Victor, a Vampire, in finding common ground to thwart a larger menace.
Longtime fans can expect some nostalgic Disney Channel flair.
“A lot of that has to do with the music,” said Chandler Kinney. “I think old Disney has a very iconic sound, and this movie, when people see it for the first time, it’s going to feel nostalgic even though it’s the first time they’re going to see it. There’s a lot of rock inspiration in a lot of this music and I think when people listen, they’ll feel right at home.”
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen kind of like pop-rock music in Disney Channel, especially in the ‘Zombies’ franchise,” added Meg Donnelly.

“Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires” premieres July 10 on Disney Channel and streams the next day on Disney+.
