ABOUT THE COMPANY:
blue13 dance company is a proudly multi-ethnic, multi-genre dance ensemble of over 20 professional performers. Artistic Director Achinta S. McDaniel takes “Bollywood†dance to its highest level, creating a new form of movement altogether: blue13’s signature style, Bollywood-Tech, precise and technical contemporary dance born of classical forms of ballet, Indian Kathak and Bharatanatyam, Punjabi folk Bhangra and India’s Bollywood film industry. The company is famous for its eclectic and beautiful live artistry, bright, sexy, and highly dramatic.
blue13 dance company’s mission is to advance experimental and non-traditional contemporary dance while preserving and cultivating the cultural and classical forms of India. The company prides itself on its diversity, from race to sexuality to the choreography itself! blue13 was established by Achinta S. McDaniel in 1999 in New York City. Relocated to Los Angeles in 2001, the company has grown from its foundation of 4 performers to its current cast of over 20, boasting an impressive cross-section of ethnicities and movement styles.
The company recently premiered KARISHMA at Hollywood’s Ford Amphitheatre to a sold out audience, and will return to the Ford stage in late August for the World Premiere of PAHELIYAN: The Story of Alice, an East Indian flavored dance spectacular telling the absurd and fantastical tale of Alice in Wonderland.
Director, Achinta S. McDaniel has choreographed feature films including the soon to be released, It’s a Mismatch starring Anupam Kher and Nandana Sen, and Independent Feature, Shut up and Shoot!
Achinta has taken Los Angeles by storm with her popular Bollywood and Bhangra dance classes throughout the city, teaching also at The Music Center’s Dance Downtown! and A Taste of Dance events for the past three years.
McDaniel and blue13 have been featured on Showbiz India TV, Soap Talk with Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway, on KTLA-5, and ABC-7 Eyewitness News.
