The Dancing Death Eaters (DDEs, as they're commonly referred to) are the first ever wizard dance troupe. Led by Irvin, they perform ballroom dance routines to wizard rock songs, chiefly about Death Eaters. Irvin can be contacted at "DarkLordofDance@gmail.com" and this is the official site of the Dancing Death Eaters. Here you can find the latest news about them, explore their history, and watch videos of their dancing.
The Dancing Death Eaters were active from 2009 to 2014, took a hiatus from 2014 to 2018, but now are back and better than ever! They organized fourwizard rock concerts in NYC: Avada KedavRock! 2012, Avada KedavRock! 2014, Avada KedavRock! 2019, and Avada KedavRock! 2024. Starting in 2013, Irvin has brought the dancing to the people through teaching Wizard Dance at Cons.
If you are interested, we are always recruiting! There is absolutely no dance experience necessary, and anyone over 18 is welcome. Just have a good sense of fun and no sense of shame, and you'll fit right in! Even if you can't come all the time, come whenever you can. Our lessons are held regularly on Wednesday evenings every week, usually between 7:30 and 9:30 or thereabouts, in Midtown Manhattan. So email us if you want to join!

Latest Update: November 2024
With less than a week to go before Avada KedavRock! 2024, the website is being given a thorough updating!
The Current Roster has been updated to reflect the induction of John and Jillian into the Dancing Death Eater ranks.
The DDEs resumed their tradition of dressing up the week of Halloween to film some videos, and the first video is now live on YouTube - for the first time in a decade, the DDEs (Irvin and Sheila, specifically) are performing Don't Wanna Be a Death Eater. Here is the video, and it has also been updated on our Repertoire and Dance Videos pages.
Lastly, the Picture Gallery has been updated, both with pictures from the DDE Halloween, and from Irvin's 32nd birthday back in February. That party featured one of the largest ever gathering of current and former DDEs, including short-lived recruits that never got to perform like Jasmine, Kat, and Julie.
Look for more updates after the concert next week, but better yet, check out the concert and experience it all live!
Latest Update: August 2024
In the last two years, the DDEs have been consistently toiling away, and are finally ready to show off the fruits of their labor! Hence, we have announced Avada KedavRock! 2024 for November 9th - RSVPs are open at Meetup and the first four bands have already been announced.
The bad news is that Sophia had to withdrawn from the troupe due to injury in early 2023. She has taken her place on the list of Former Death Eaters.
The good news is that Sheila has returned to the fold, alongside two new recruits - Jillian and John. (Jillian might hold the record for longest wait before performing debut; she's been with the troupe over a year and a half!)
And at AKRock! 2024, the DDEs will be debuting their first new routine since 2019, and are very excited about it! So look out for Avada KedavRock! 2024 this November!
