We saw this Zomdie de Dance performance in the New York section of Universal Studios Japan. According to the official Universal Studios Japan website, there is no permanently scheduled showtime.

A number of festively dressed Crew Members take the stage and teach the audience some easy-to-replicate choreography, and once the audience catches on, the party commences. The beat, created in collaboration with Japanese artist Ado, drops, and the on-stage performers pick up their pace. They are then joined by Hamikuma, who shows off a few dance moves of his own.

The Halloween Horror Nights Japan icon is quickly joined by Hamikuma Soul, who appears on a platform above the stage.

Hamikuma and Hamikuma Soul lead the on-stage performance. After a few moments, performers dressed as escaped prisoners and deranged clowns (among other frightening characters) surround the audience and lead a new dance. The entire audience follows along as acrobatics ensue on the stage.
