You may have seen her work in The Strokes Threat of Joy Music Video, on New Girl, Speechless, in Madden, Snapple, and Heineken commercials, and more. Achinta is also a professor of dance at USC’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance in Los Angeles, and teaches around the globe. Shoot us an e-mail at [booking at blue13dance dot com] for more information.
Blue13’s Achinta created some pretty unique and incredible concepts in June for her brother’s big wedding in Greenwich, Connecticut! Never one to be part of the status quo, McDaniel created a Beatles song Baraat (the groom’s traditional procession filled with dancing family and friends en route to the wedding), with choreographed moves, live drumming and a stilt walker. Even The Huffington Post India picked up on the excitement. Video by Vinnie Chhabra. Music: Love me Do, The Beatles. Dhol: Sonny Brooklynwala.
