Blue 13 Dance Company – 2016 Festival of Holidays

Disney’s addition of Festival of Holidays to DCA’s holiday schedule has been an amazing success in the eyes of Fresh Baked. The Blue 13 Dance Company, one of several outstanding musical acts new this year, is among the reasons we love this celebration so much.

The Blue 13 Dance Company is a “fiery confluence of new and old, quintessentially American in its diversity and rebellion.” That’s per their own website and goes a long way to describing their show. Traditional Indian dance made more modern with an energetic and theatrical dance style. It’s Bollywood, but more than that even. This is understood when we hear Wycleff Jean and the Refugee All-Stars. It’s an amazing re-mix that helps those of us not familiar with Indian dance and culture get in to the beat, letting us experience just how fun…and complimentary style is to our American sensitivities.

It is for this reason that I was most appreciative of Disney including this performance. I’m a one world kind of guy, but I don’t have the means to experience other cultures first hand. With Blue 13 I get to participate in the fun, even having the chance to learn the dance moves and perform them with the dance company at the show. It’s terrific!

Shows run daily at Disney’s California Adventure at Paradise Park. Check the Disney website for showtimes.

Songs heard include:

Kehna Hi Kya by Chitra

One Two Three Four Get on the Dance Floor by Vishal Dadlani and Hamsika Iyer

Radha Nachegi (From “Tovar”) by Ritu Phatak, Shabab Sabri and Danish Sabri
